24 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Ishan Kishan scored a 33-ball century against Karnataka.
- His century is the second-fastest by an Indian man in List A.
- Swastik Samal also achieved a double century against Saurashtra.
In a stunning display of aggressive batting, Ishan Kishan achieved one of the fastest centuries by an Indian in the List A format, taking just 33 balls against Karnataka in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Walking in at number six, Kishan's explosive innings featured 14 sixes, contributing to Jharkhand's massive total of 412 for nine. This remarkable performance places his century as the second-quickest by an Indian man, narrowly behind Anmolpreet Singh's 35-ball century from the previous season.
Kishan's century is particularly noteworthy as it occurred on a day that saw multiple records broken. Bihar's Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Sakibul Gani also registered centuries in under 40 balls, with Gani achieving the quickest-ever Indian List A century in just 32 balls. These performances underscore a new era of aggressive batting in Indian domestic cricket, with players showcasing exceptional form and scoring prowess.
Adding to the day's excitement, Odisha's opener Swastik Samal recorded a brilliant double century against Saurashtra. In only his 11th List A appearance, Samal converted his maiden century into an impressive 212 off 167 balls, becoming only the 14th Indian man to achieve this milestone. These stellar individual performances are setting new benchmarks in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
