Patidar celebrating after 100 vs LSG
Rajat Patidar put up a stellar performance at the Eden Gardens as he smoked LSG bowlers around the park on his way to a spectacular 100.
Patidar came out to bat at the beginning of the innings after Faf was dismissed for a duck. Together with Viraat, he stabilized the ship. Rajat was batting aggressively from the beginning. He scored 20 runs in the last over of the powerplay to bundle out RCB for 52 after 6 overs.
But, when he dismissed Ravi Bishnoi for 27 in the 16th over, everything broke down. He completed his century in just 49 balls and broke many records along the way.
He eventually finished with 112 and RCB finished with 207.
