Rajat Patidar has scored centuries in back to back Ranji Trophy matches, but an India comeback is still not in sight.
The RCB Captain scored 109 off 133 balls against Bihar. Continuing his good run in domestic cricket. Despite, he is still waiting for another chance in India’s senior team.
Rajat Patidar scored 122 against Pondicherry in Madhya Pradesh’s previous match and followed it up with another hundred against Bihar.
His latest knock came after Madhya Pradesh bowled Bihar out for just 99 runs. Patidar’s innings helped his team reach 407/8 before declaring.
The 33 year old has now registered 18 centuries in First Class cricket. His recent scores show that he is making the most of his opportunities in domestic cricket, but that has not yet brought him back into India’s Test plans.
Rajat Patidar made his Test debut against England in 2024. Despite, he struggled to score runs, managing just 63 runs in six innings across three Tests. He was dropped from the team after the series and has not played another Test since.
With two centuries in consecutive Ranji Trophy matches, Patidar has given the selectors another reason to follow his performances. Despite, competition for places in the Indian team remains strong, and he will need to continue scoring runs to strengthen his case.
Rajat Patidar is doing his part in domestic cricket, but the big question remains will these back to back centuries bring him closer to an India comeback, or will he have to keep waiting for another opportunity?
