Moving onto the T20 format, the player has played in seven matches but has not had the opportunity to bat yet. Hence the stats for innings, runs, highest score, average and strike rate are all absent. The Indian-origin cricketer has not taken any catches or stumped any batsmen in this format either. It is difficult to evaluate his performance without complete statistics, but it seems that Rajan may be more suited to the T20 format based on the fact that they have not yet been dismissed in this format, which suggests that they may be a useful lower-order batsman or a good fielder.
In List A format, the bowler has played five matches, bowled a total of 206 balls, taken six wickets at an average of 25.16 runs per wicket, with the best bowling figures of 3/24. The player’s economy rate in this format is 4.39, and has a strike rate of 34.3.
