Biography

A genuine all-rounder who ran out of some luck, Rajat Bhatia is one of the most influential performers in domestic cricket. He represented Tamil Nadu, before moving to his home state, Delhi. With a steady medium-pace bowling line and a decent batting stand, Bhatia is regarded highly by his team-mates as well as his opponents. He could have been India's next big all-rounder after Robin Singh called it quits, but was not lucky enough to make it to the big league. He is considered as Delhi's prized possession.

Bhatia was a part of the Delhi franchise in the first three editions of the Indian T20 league but was later auctioned to Kolkata in 2011. After 3 successful years at Kolkata, Bhatia was bought by Rajasthan for Rs. 1.7 crores. His experience in home conditions and analyzing game situations will make him an important player for the franchise.
