Rajat Patidar’s rich vein of form in domestic cricket continues as he brought up yet another century in the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2025, notching up his 15th first-class hundred. This knock also marked his second century as captain, further strengthening his reputation as a consistent run-scorer and an inspiring leader.
Batting with remarkable composure and confidence, Patidar anchored his side’s innings with a mix of elegance and aggression. His ability to rotate the strike while punishing loose deliveries kept the scoreboard ticking and frustrated the opposition bowlers.
Patidar’s performances in the Duleep Trophy come at a crucial time, as he continues to push his case for higher honors. With India’s middle-order spots often under discussion, his consistency in the longer format makes him a strong contender for national selection.
The right-hander has now scored multiple big knocks in back-to-back seasons, showcasing not just his batting prowess but also his leadership qualities. His teammates rallied around his innings, building partnerships that set up a commanding total.
With this latest milestone, Patidar has firmly stamped his authority as one of the most reliable batters in India’s domestic circuit. If he maintains this form, a recall to the national squad may not be far away.
