**Indore:** Gujarat’s Urvil Patel has etched his name in the record books, smashing the fastest T20 century by an Indian cricketer. Playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Tripura, Patel achieved the feat in a mere 28 balls, a record previously held by Rishabh Pant.
Patel’s explosive innings included 12 sixes and 7 fours, ultimately finishing on 113 not out from just 35 balls. His knock propelled Gujarat to a comfortable 2-wicket victory chasing 156 runs, achieving the target in 10.2 overs. This is also the second-fastest T20 century globally, just one ball slower than the record held by Estonian player, Sahil Chowhan.
Remarkably, Patel went unsold in the recent IPL mega auction. His stunning performance is a testament to his exceptional talent and a clear indication of his potential.
