Wed Nov 27 16:29:34 UTC 2024: ## Gujarat’s Urvin Patel Smashes Record with Fastest T20 Century in India
**Indore, India –** Urvin Patel of Gujarat created history in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on November 27th, 2024, smashing a record-breaking century in a breathtaking display of power hitting. Facing Tripura in Indore, Patel achieved the feat in a mere 28 balls, surpassing Rishabh Pant’s previous national record.
Batting first, Tripura posted a modest 155/8 in their allotted 20 overs. However, Patel’s explosive innings ensured a comfortable victory for Gujarat. He unleashed a storm of boundaries, amassing 113 not out from just 35 balls, including 12 sixes and 7 fours. His innings lasted only 10.2 overs.
This blistering knock makes Patel the fastest Indian to score a T20 century, beating Rishabh Pant’s previous record of 32 balls set in 2018. While Patel’s achievement is remarkable, the world record still belongs to Sahil Chowhan, who scored a century in 27 balls playing for Estonia against Cyprus in 2024. Patel’s 28-ball century now places him second on the global leaderboard. The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy continues to witness remarkable performances, with Patel’s innings undoubtedly being one for the record books.
