After scoring a century in his previous match against Hyderabad, former RCB player Mahipal Lomror maintained his form in the match against Uttarakhand.
In the Ranji Trophy Group B match at Abhimanyu Cricket Academy in Dehradun, Mahipal Lomror put up an outstanding performance, scoring a double century against Uttarakhand.
After scoring a century in his previous match against Hyderabad, former RCB player Mahipal Lomror maintained his form in the match against Uttarakhand. Lomror, who reached No. 3 after Abhijeet Tomar’s early dismissal at 23-1, anchored the innings by creating partnerships with Ram Chouhan and Zubair Ali Khan.
Despite captain Deepak Hooda falling cheaply, Lomror formed a strong partnership with Karthik Sharma, and together they took Rajasthan to 362-4 at stumps on Day 1, with Lomror unbeaten on 141* and Kartik on 101* .
On Day 2, Lomror continued his dominance, hitting a magnificent double century and is still in the crease, unbeaten on 251* off 318 balls, with 23 fours and 9 sixes.

This double ton not only boosts his confidence after the last century but also comes at a perfect time as the IPL auction is less than two weeks away, which could boost his stock among the franchises.
Lomror’s strong domestic form signals to franchises that he is in top form, potentially increasing his value at auction. Having previously played for RR and RCB, he scored 527 runs in 40 IPL games, including 125 runs in the IPL 2024 season.
His recent performances could give him the boost needed to attract the attention of IPL teams.
