This was not the first time that fans chanted the names of IPL franchises throughout the match. Earlier he also shouted “RCB, RCB” as Patidar scored a century in 3 days. Deepak Chahar was also at his best when he went out for a walk as he was greeted with the slogans “CSK, CSK”.

Now as Patidar scored the winning run, fans were again chanting RCB RCB slogans, even as players from MP came in the middle, celebrating the team’s historic victory in this grand old tournament.

Chasing a modest target of 108 runs, Himanshu Mantri scored 37 runs while Shubham Sharma scored 30 runs. Rajat Patidar played an unbeaten innings of 30 runs and took the winning run to the MP home.

MP CM Shivraj is extremely excited by the historic victory of the state cricket team. In a video shared by him on Twitter, he congratulated the team and said that the players will have a grand welcome in the capital city of Bhopal.
