Centuries by Rajat Patidar and Harpreet Singh in the second innings and Ishwar Pandey's match-haul of eight wickets helped Madhya Pradesh seal a spot in 2015-16 Ranji Trophy semi-final with a colossal 355-run win over Bengal
Despite scoring three centuries in his first five Ranji Trophy matches, Rajat Patidar feels his first season for Madhya Pradesh has been an average one
Rajat Patidar's third century in only his fifth match was the centerpiece of Madhya Pradesh's batathon that has all but shunted Bengal out of the quarterfinal, as they piled up a 565-run lead by the end of day three
Rookie fast bowlers Puneet Datey and Chandrakant Sakure have caught a few eyes, including that of former India allrounder Robin Singh, while playing for Madhya Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy quarter-final
Madhya Pradesh's pace pack shredded Bengal's batting order and secured a 227-run lead in the first innings to sway the match almost decisively in their direction
