Rajat Patidar scores second consecutive Ranji century for Madhya Pradesh

Rajat Patidar scored his 18th First-Class century on Tuesday in the Ranji Trophy. The Madhya Pradesh captain reached the landmark off 119 balls with 12 fours at a strike rate of 84. It was his second hundred in consecutive matches.

Patidar's knock helped Madhya Pradesh strengthen its position against Bihar. The side bowled Bihar out for 99 on the opening day. Saransh Jain took seven wickets in that innings.

Patidar missed Madhya Pradesh's opening fixture against defending champions Jammu and Kashmir. He has now led Royal Challengers Bengaluru to two IPL titles as captain.
