KOLKATA: Rajat Patidar was ignored at this year's mega Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, only to be picked by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as an injury replacement, but the 28-year-old never cared about things which he couldn't really control.
On Wednesday, in the IPL Eliminator, Patidar hit a 54-ball 112 not out, which laid the foundation of RCB's 14-run win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). RCB restricted LSG to 193/6 after putting up 207/4 on the board, thanks to Patidar's ton.
