Rajat Patidar hit an insane no-look six to Shardul Thakur during the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 against Mumbai. At M Chinnaswamy stadium, the RCB batter scored an unbeaten 81*(40) which helped Madhya Pradesh to post a competitive total of 174 runs on the board after being reduced to 70/4 at one stage in the match.
In the death overs, Rajat showed an excellent acceleration. The RCB star smashed Shardul Thakur for fun in the last over. With three balls left in the over, Thakur attempted a slower bouncer. Patidar recognized it and picked the length right where he stood. The right-handed batter timed the ball and did not even have a look at it.
