Madhya Pradesh batter Rajat Patidar looked in spectacular touch during his team's clash against Railways in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022 on Sunday, October 16.

The right-handed batter took the opposition bowlers to the cleaners in his dazzling unbeaten 92-run knock from just 43 deliveries. In all, Patidar smashed nine sixes and two fours, helping his side post an impressive total in the encounter.

This was his second half-century from three games in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022.

A number of fans took to social media, praising the youngster for yet another impactful performance with the bat. Here are some of the reactions:

Patidar made heads turn with his splendid batting in this year's Indian Premier League. He helped Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) win their crucial Eliminator clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), remaining unbeaten on 112 in the knockout game.

He has done well consistently in domestic games as well for India A this year. Patidar was rewarded for his batting exploits as he was named in the Men in Blue's squad for the recently concluded three-match home ODI series against South Africa.
