In a small corner of Chhattisgarh’s Garia band District, a few cricket fans got the one -off chance to talk to their heroes Virat Kohli and Ab de Villiers, thanks to Rajat Patidar, and for which they happily called themselves, because others die to just get a glimpse of them.
On June 28, Madagaon bought resident Manish Bisi, son of farmer Gajendra Bisi, a new Jio SIM card from a mobile store in Deobhog. After he had set up WhatsApp, he noticed that the image of the display was not his, but that of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Captain Rajat Patidar.
