Madhya Pradesh vs Punjab: Rajat Patidar has made a splash in first class cricket as soon as he became the captain of Madhya Pradesh.
This right-handed batsman scored a double century in his debut match as captain. The big thing is that Rajat Patidar did not hit even a single six in this innings. He played amazing shots and completed his double century with the help of 26 fours.Rajat Patidar Had scored a century on the second day of the game against Punjab at Emerald Heights International School Ground, Indore but he did not stop there. On the third day of the game, this player died after scoring the first double century of his first class career.
This inning of Patidar is also special because he has scored most of the runs with the tail batsmen.Rajat Patidar was dropped from the Indian Test team after a disappointing start against England last season. After this, Patidar performed brilliantly from the beginning of the last Ranji Trophy season. Patidar was Madhya Pradesh's leading run-scorer, scoring 529 runs at an average of 48.09, which included one century and two half-centuries. He helped Madhya Pradesh enter the finals in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Under the captaincy of Patidar, Arsabi also won its first IPL title. Captaining Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy 2025 tournament in Bengaluru in September, Patidar scored four consecutive half-centuries, including two centuries in the quarter-finals and the final. In the final against South Zone, Patidar scored a century in the first innings, on the basis of which Central Zone won the Duleep Trophy after 10 years.
Rajat Patidar is continuously performing well but leave alone his team India, he is not even getting a place in the India A team.
It is possible that now after this double century, the BCCI selectors will give him a chance in the series against South Africa A.
