A Hardik Pandya fan, Rohan Rajbhar slams maiden ton; dedicates milestone to mother

Rohan Rajbhar delivered a masterclass in his maiden First-Class century, anchoring Rajasthan’s dramatic comeback in the Ranji Trophy against Himachal Pradesh. Battling through challenging conditions, the 20-year-old scored 140 off 263 balls, showcasing his resilience with 11 fours and a six, while partnering with Mahipal Lomror (97) to build a 209-run stand that propelled his team to a 222-run lead.

His innings ended when he was stumped by Abhishek Kumar, but the milestone was marked with a touching tribute to his mother, who couldn’t attend in person. Rajbhar’s journey reflects his father’s early sacrifices—borrowing money to fund his cricketing dreams—and his admiration for Hardik Pandya, whose perseverance he deeply respects.

The match saw Rajasthan’s remarkable turnaround after collapsing to 78 in their first innings, with a disciplined second session setting the stage for their resurgence.
