In an extraordinary innings, former RCB hitter Mahipal Lomror slammed a magnificent triple century against Uttarakhand in a Ranji Trophy fixture. Batting for Rajasthan, Lomror brought up his 300 in just 360 balls as his team raced to 660/7 by tea break on day 2. This inning has come just days before the IPL 2025 mega auction is scheduled to go on floors.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) retained just 3 players at the retention deadline. Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal found a place whereas the likes of Mohammad Siraj, Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis were released from the squad.

Amongst the released names was promising uncapped batter from Rajasthan Mahipal Lomror. After a brief stint with Rajasthan Royals, Lomror was picked by RCB and had a decent run in 2024 as he scored 125 runs in 10 games batting in lower middle order.

Mahipal Lomror roars in Ranji Trophy with triple hundred

However, Mahipal Lomror successfully grabbed the IPL franchises attention with a sensational performance in the most recent Ranji Trophy game against Uttarakhand. Coming off a century against Hyderabad in the previous game, Lomror raised the bar with a triple ton against Uttarakhand. 

Rajasthan were batting first at Abhimanyu Cricket Academy in Dehradun and Lomror scored a ton at the end of Day 1. He beautifully converted it into a triple century on Day 2 in what turned out to be a marathon run of 300* off 360 balls at tea break. The knock consisted of 25 fours and 13 sixes, while the strike rate was maintained at around 80-100 throughout the inning.

Needless to say, this triple century has come at the right time for Mahipal Lomror as the IPL 2025 mega auction is scheduled for November 24, 25. Any team in need of a economical power hitter could opt for Lomror and extend their batting depth. 

KL Rahul leading favourite to rejoin RCB

Amongst the notable target names for RCB, seasoned batter KL Rahul tops the list as he is not only a local Kannadiga but also previously donned the red jersey in his early days. He parted ways with LSG this year due to differences with ownership and given his past connection with M.Chinnaswamy stadium, RCB is expected to bid aggressively to buy back Rahul in upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction.
