A maiden IPL hundred was a just reward for his clean, non-muddled hitting for RCB on Wednesday night (May 25). His innings ensured that RCB reach a very challenging total against LSG and in a prime position to reach Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals. Fortune also favoured Patidar on this night as Deepak Hooda dropped him when he was 82 off Ravi Bishnoi and to make it worse, the ball rolled over the ropes for a four. Patidar meted out severe punishment for the young Bishnoi, whose leg-spin was dispatched for 3 sixes and 2 fours to rack in 26 runs in 5 overs as RCB recovered from a sluggish middle-over phase to race to a big total. So, who is Rajat Patidar? For beginners, he is a 28-year-old middle-order batsman from Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

Trailblazers Beat Velocity By 16 Runs But Crash Out Of Women’s T20 Challenge On Net Run-rate | Cricket News
Velocity suffered a 16-run defeat in the Women's T20 Challenge but still qualified for the final on the basis of a better net run-rate, knocking out victors Trailblazers from the tournament in Pune on Thursday. Velocity will face Supernovas in the summit clash on Saturday. Invited to bat, Sabbhineni Meghana and Jemimah Rodrigues smashed scintillating fifties to help the defending champions post a huge 190 for five, the highest total in the history of the tournament. But they needed to restrict Velocity to 159 to become the second team to qualify for the final but it was not to be as Kiran Navgire had other ideas. The 27-year-old all-rounder from Maharashtra lit up the night sky with five fours and as many sixes on way to her 34-ball 69 to take Velocity across the 150-mark and on the doorstep of the final. The Trailblazers bowlers, led by Poonam Yadav (2/33) and Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/44), eventually managed to restrict Velocity to 174 for nine to also open their account but … [Read more...] about Trailblazers Beat Velocity By 16 Runs But Crash Out Of Women’s T20 Challenge On Net Run-rate | Cricket News
