[Watch] Rajat Patidar fails once again, holes out to mid-wicket for duck on Day 3 of IND vs ENG 3rd Test

Rajat Patidar threw away his wicket on Day 3 of the ongoing third Test between India and England in Rajkot on Saturday (February 17). With the dismissal, Patidar fell prey to a 10-ball duck after managing just five runs in the first innings.

The dismissal took place during the 48th over of India’s second innings on the stroke of stumps. Tom Hartley bowled a length ball outside and the right-hander short-arm jabbed it to Rehan Ahmed at mid-wicket. The cameramen were quick to record head coach Rahul Dravid's reaction, who looked unhappy.

Watch the dismissal below:

With Patidar’s wicket, England finally managed their second wicket after centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal retired hurt to back spasms.

For the unversed, Patidar had earlier returned with scores of 32 and nine in his two innings on his debut in the previous Test. He is now likely to be replaced by KL Rahul in the next Test.
