In a riveting display of athleticism, Rajat Patidar showcased his agility on Sunday during the clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL 2024. Patidar’s sensational effort at the boundary ropes left spectators in awe as he denied Sai Sudharsan a potential six in Ahmedabad.
RCB’s decision to field first after winning the toss initially paid off, with early breakthroughs restricting GT’s run-scoring opportunities. However, Sudharsan’s remarkable innings propelled GT to a formidable total of 200 runs, despite Patidar’s valiant attempt to prevent a boundary.

During the crucial 20th over, Yash Dayal delivered a short ball outside off stump to Sudharsan, who aimed to dispatch it towards the deep mid-wicket region. Sudharsan’s timing seemed impeccable, but Patidar’s swift reaction changed the course of the ball’s trajectory.
Displaying remarkable agility, Rajat Patidar sprinted along the boundary ropes and executed a diving forward catch to prevent the ball from crossing the boundary. With impeccable coordination, he managed to pull the ball back into play before stepping outside the ropes himself.
