When Rajat Patidar is at his very best, fireworks are guaranteed. The Madhya Pradesh skipper and RCB star had the crowd at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium eating out of his hand during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25 final against Mumbai.

Rajat Patidar Crushed Shardul Thakur’s Confidence With No-Look Six

Leading from the front, Rajat Patidar bludgeoned and unbeaten 81 off just 40 balls, but it was one sensational shot that stole the show.

It all went down in the final over of MP’s innings. Shardul Thakur, known for his short balls, sent one into the pitch with an aim to catch Patidar off guard. But he had other plans. Moving across the crease as if to play a lap shot, Patidar adjusted in a split second. Instead of ducking or pulling traditionally, he unleashed a no-look hook. 

Without even glancing at Shardul Thakur's ball, he sent it sailing over deep backward square leg for a massive six. The shot was pure swagger. a moment of genius that had the crowd roaring in disbelief.


It wasn’t just a six, it was a statement. The Bengaluru fans, already familiar with Patidar’s brilliance from the IPL, got a taste of what’s in store for the 2025 season.

Patidar Plays a Captain’s Knock

Walking in with his team struggling at 48/3, he took the game by the scruff of the neck. He smashed six fours and as many sixes. His 81* off just 40 balls powered Madhya Pradesh to a competitive 174/8 in their 20 overs—a total that looked far from possible when he first came in.

The RCB star’s brilliant knock gave MP a score to fight in the final. Now, the onus will be on MP’s bowling attack to back their captain’s heroic effort and defend the total against a formidable Mumbai batting lineup.
