Changing his own fate overnight, Rajat Patidar made sure that everyone in his team stood up and applauded for him by scoring a massive century. Initially, Rajat was not a part of the Faf Du Plesis led team. On 3rd of April, IPL released a statement saying that Rajat Patidar would be joining Royal Challengers Bangalore for the price of Rs. 20 lakh as a replacement for injured Luvnith Sisodia.

Since joining the RCB team, Rajat has been delivering some memorable innings and the topmost one came against Lucknow Super Giants in the main match of eliminator. Against Gujarat Titans, he smashed a half century and his 48 against Sunrisers was also got the attention. Apart from these innings, Rajat also contributed valuable cameos in a number of matches.

Smashing the LSPG bowlers across all the directions of the stadium, Rajat reached his century in just 49 deliveries and he ended up adding 112 runs through his innings. His innings included 12 fours and 7 sixes and the uncapped Indian awarded as the man of the match for his brilliant knock with 200 plus strike rate.

when your 3 big guys went for 34(35) combined. All the pressure in the world in a big eliminator against a very good bowling attack & you stay there to score 112*(54), that’s beyond outstanding. One of the greatest IPL knock.
