The former Australian pacer Brett Lee was left in awe by Rajat Patidar’s cover drive during his innings against the Delhi Capitals. He said that the new batter of RCB plays cover drive like Virat Kohli. Patidar’s performance against the Delhi Capitals was praiseworthy, as he notched his fifth fifty of the season. His graceful cover drive off Mukesh Kumar’s delivery in the fifth over astounded the commentators.

After RCB’s remarkable 47-run victory on Sunday, Brett Lee commented that viewers could have mistaken Rajat Patidar’s cover drive for one of Virat Kohli’s trademark shots. Lee highlighted the exceptional quality of Patidar’s shot and expressed optimism about Patidar maintaining his current form.

“Also, if you were to turn on your device right now, you would assume that is Kohli,” he commented.

“It’s his fifth half-century this season; we know he has played Tests, but he needed some time to find his groove. However, what’s amazing is that he played that cover drive, I mean, that’s about as good as it gets. It’s pleasing to see that he has found his form. Well, maybe it can go on,” Lee continued.

Coming into the IPL 2024 season after a disappointing India vs. England Test series, Patidar encountered a turbulent start to the season. Given RCB’s struggles with Glenn Maxwell’s poor form, the Madhya Pradesh batsman was called upon to step up and deliver for the team.
