**Indore, India** – Rajat Patidar, captain of Madhya Pradesh, etched his name in the annals of T20 cricket history with a stunning unbeaten 81 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final against Mumbai. His match-winning knock, which propelled Madhya Pradesh to a challenging total despite being 54/4 at one point, surpassed Gautam Gambhir’s previous record for the highest score by an Indian captain in a T20 final.

Patidar’s innings not only secured victory for his team but also shattered Gambhir’s 80-run record set in the 2014 Champions League T20 against Chennai Super Kings. Rohit Sharma holds the third spot on this list with 68 runs.

The Madhya Pradesh skipper’s performance was exceptional throughout the tournament. In 9 innings across 10 matches, he amassed 428 runs at a remarkable average of 61.14 and a strike rate of 186.08, including five half-centuries. His explosive batting was evident in his 32 fours and 27 sixes throughout the tournament.

This achievement comes amidst other significant sporting news, including Jasprit Bumrah’s five-wicket haul in the ongoing Gabba Test, surpassing two of Kapil Dev’s records. In unrelated political news, the BJP has vowed to defeat the AAP in the upcoming 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, announcing that the party’s chief ministerial candidate will be represented by the party symbol, the lotus, rather than a specific individual. The BJP is also focusing on the issue of Rohingya and Bangladeshi immigrants, whom they accuse of violating the rights of Delhi residents.
