Ready to Impress: Mahipal Lomror's Triple Century Raises Eyebrows Before IPL Mega Auction

Dehradun, Rajasthan's Mahipal Lomror has caught the attention of IPL franchises with a remarkable triple hundred, including 13 sixes and 25 fours, in their recent Ranji Trophy Group B match against Uttarakhand. This impressive performance has put him on the radar for the upcoming mega auction.

The 24-year-old all-rounder, who has in the past represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals, reached his triple ton in just 357 balls while maintaining an excellent strike rate of 83.33 through his innings, something that will certainly encourage the IPL franchises gearing up for the November 24-25 auction in Jeddah.

Resuming the day on 141, Lomror, who can also bowl left-arm spin, raced to his double century in just 253 balls while smashing 18 fours and eight sixes.

Thanks to his big knock, Rajasthan posted an imposing first-innings total of 660 for seven declared before reducing Uttarakhand to 109 for two at stumps on the second day of the elite group game.

The visitors declared their first innings immediately after Lomror got to his triple hundred.

During the course of his monumental effort, Lomror shared a partnership of 177 runs for the fifth wicket with Kartik Sharma who got out in the day's first over without adding anything to his overnight total.

Then, Lomror was associated in a sixth-wicket stand of 116 runs with keeper Bharat Sharma, who contributed 54 in 75 balls. After Bharat's departure, Lomror found another able ally in Deepak Chahar, who chipped in with a brisk 38-ball 35.

Uttarakhand's agony did not end there as Lomror then stitched another unbeaten partnership of 118 runs for the eighth wicket with Kukna Ajay Singh, who made 40 in 97 balls while helping his colleague get to the coveted landmark.

The former RCB player has been in good form this domestic season as he struck a century in his team's previous match against Hyderabad.

Arriving at the wicket at the fall of first wicket, Lomror was associated in multiple partnerships on the first two days of this game to help the team post a commanding total.

Lomror has so far scored 527 runs in 40 IPL games, including 125 runs in the last edition for RCB, who released him ahead of the mega auction.

Prior to this match, Lomror had seven centuries and 16 fifties in first-class cricket.

Uttarakhand skipper Ravikumar Samarth and Swapnil Singh were batting on 50 and 17, respectively, when the stumps were drawn for the day as the home team trailed Rajasthan by 551 runs.
