Mahipal Lomror of Rajasthan attracted attention with a spectacular batting performance prior to the eagerly anticipated Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 super auction. On Thursday, November 14, while playing Uttarakhand in the ongoing Ranji Trophy Group B encounter, Lomror scored his first triple century.
In a Group B match at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy in Dehradun, Rajasthan is now playing Uttarakhand. With an impressive total of 660/7 in 145.4 overs, the squad captained by Deepak Hooda declared their first innings. At 300 runs from 360 balls, with 25 fours and 13 sixes, Lomror was still undefeated.
At 23, when Rajasthan lost their first wicket, Lomror came to the crease. Early in the game, on the second day, the left-handed batter reached his first triple century. With 113 runs, he and Karthik Sharma added a 177-run partnership for the fifth wicket. Then, alongside Bharat Sharma, the southpaw scored 116 runs.
This marks the first triple century in Mahipal Lomror’s first-class career. He is just the second Rajasthani batsman to reach a triple century, after Aakash Chopra, who hit 301* against Maharashtra.
In the present Ranji Trophy, Mahipal Lomror has amassed two straight hundreds, including a demolition of Hyderabad by 111 runs in his most recent game. In just five games, he has amassed nearly 500 runs. His first match ended with 10 and 3 runs, his second match ended with 99 runs, and his third match ended with 6 runs.
2016 saw the 24-year-old cricketer’s first-class debut. In 84 innings over 54 games, he has amassed almost 3,300 runs at an average of over 40. Along with 16 half-centuries, the youthful batter has amassed eight hundreds.During his knock in the current match, Mahipal Lomror displayed a combination of accuracy and aggression when playing shots. Ahead of the huge auction, the cricket player appears to be making a strong statement to IPL teams. He has the potential to develop into a dependable middle-order batsman who can also help with the ball.
The timing of Lomror’s performance is ideal as IPL teams get ready to reassemble their teams for the forthcoming campaign. Saudi Arabia will host the IPL 2025 super auction on November 24 and 25. Lomror may get bids because IPL scouts and analysts keep a close eye on player performances.
