Rajat Patidar, the batting sensation for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), showcased his immense talent and explosive form by smashing a quickfire 19-ball fifty against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the latest IPL 2024 fixture.

Patidar, hailing from Maharashtra, delivered a scintillating performance that included 5 sixes and 2 boundaries, leaving the SRH bowlers in awe of his striking prowess.

The decision to bat first after winning the toss, made by RCB skipper Faf du Plessis, proved beneficial as Patidar’s blitz provided the much-needed momentum to the team.

During the match, Patidar took on the leg-spin of Mayank Markande, plundering 4 consecutive sixes in an over, a feat that displayed his dominance and skill against the spinners.

With a striking record of 20 sixes against leg-spinners in the IPL at a staggering rate of over 200, Patidar exploited the match-up flawlessly, boosting RCB’s scoring rate in the crucial middle overs.

Teaming up with the RCB captain, Virat Kohli, Patidar’s explosive innings was pivotal in sustaining the team’s momentum as Kohli faced challenges against the spin attack.

Patidar, who has had a roller-coaster journey in the IPL, has shown remarkable improvement and consistency, marking his third fifty in four matches and establishing himself as a key player for RCB.

Currently, Patidar stands as the fourth-highest run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2024, with 211 runs in nine matches, behind stalwarts like Kohli, du Plessis, and Dinesh Karthik.

As RCB aims to revive their IPL 2024 campaign, Patidar’s explosive batting and strong performances are set to play a crucial role in the team’s quest for success in the tournament.
