Royal Challengers Bangalore uncapped batsman Rajat Patidar made history by scoring a century in the Eliminator match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. When Patidar marked a century, former captain Virat Kohli jumped for joy. Apart from this, former cricketers are also praising Rajat fiercely.
Rajat faced 54 balls against Lucknow and hit 12 fours and 7 sixes. In this way he scored 112 not out. He has become the fifth player to score a hundred in an IPL knockout or playoff match. At the same time, Pajat Patidar has also become the first uncapped batsman to score a century in the playoffs.
Look at the guy in the background, it’s Rajat Patidar!
It’s from the last RCB match when no one greeted him and this time he made sure everyone stood up and waved at him 🔥🔥🔥—CA Ruchit Shah (@RoohHitHai) May 25, 2022
