RCB captain Rajat Patidar leaves Phil Salt in awe: He's brilliant in all areas

Phil Salt was in awe of RCB captain Rajat Patidar and said that the MP batter is brilliant in all areas of his game and has a good cricket brain. Patidar's fifty and his captaincy helped RCB secure a famous win at Chepauk on Friday, March 28.

"I think he's brilliant in all areas, if I'm being honest with you," Salt said, "I think the batting is right up there with the best around. I've not seen anybody hit spin the way that he can. Obviously, he rode his luck a little bit tonight, but that's the game. You get that in patches.

"And then you come to his captaincy, and he's a cool head and very calm under pressure. He's got very good cricket brain. He thinks about the game very deeply. As I've already said, the way that he spun the bowlers around tonight to make sure that we're keeping the pressure on at all times. There's not much more you can ask for. There's a reason he's got a [Player] of the Match trophy as well."
