Urvil Patel Blasts 100 off 96 Balls in Ranji Trophy Clash

On October 28, 2025, in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2025-26 match between Bengal and Gujarat at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Gujarat's wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel produced a remarkable performance. Chasing a target of 327 runs to win, Patel came out to bat at number three and showcased his exceptional white-ball skills in the red-ball format.

Patel's innings was nothing short of a masterclass, as he slammed a 96-ball century, his second in first-class cricket. His knock was laced with 16 fours and came at a rapid pace, putting the Bengal bowlers under immense pressure. Unfortunately, Patel's innings came to an end on 101 off 100 balls, as he had to retire hurt after reaching his century.

Despite Patel's heroics, the match is still in progress, and the outcome remains to be seen. However, the wicketkeeper-batter's performance has undoubtedly been the highlight of the contest, as he demonstrated his ability to adapt his game to the demands of the longer format of the sport.
