Who needs Faf, Virat & Maxwell when you have Rajat – Cricketers laud RCB batter for sensational ton
Rajat Patidar was the hero of RCB’s innings against Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator of IPL 2022. He scored an unbeaten 112 runs off 54 balls, laced with 12 fours and 7 sixes, to take RCB to 207 in 20 overs.
Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Glenn Maxwell, the three-star batters, failed in the knockout match, but Rajat didn’t stop hitting the bowlers for boundaries.
Fans and cricket experts were stunned by one of the best innings in the league’s history and lauded the 28-year-old for playing fearless cricket.
Here are the tweets

Serious hitting by Rajat Patidar and nicely supported by @DineshKarthik.
It’s a great total but given how the surface is playing and the fast outfield, I feel it’ll be a close game.
