**Chandigarh, India –** Anmolpreet Singh of Punjab has rewritten Indian cricket history, smashing the fastest List A century by an Indian batsman in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. His electrifying 115* off just 45 balls against Arunachal Pradesh included 12 fours and 9 sixes, with his century coming off a mere 35 deliveries.

This remarkable feat surpasses Yusuf Pathan’s previous record of 40 balls, set in 2009-10. Singh’s knock propelled Punjab to a resounding 9-wicket victory, chasing down Arunachal Pradesh’s 164 in just 12.5 overs. He shared a 151-run partnership with Prabhsimran Singh (35*), who remained unbeaten.

Globally, Singh’s achievement places him third on the all-time fastest List A centuries list, behind Jake Fraser-McGurk (29 balls) and AB de Villiers (31 balls). Despite his stunning performance, Singh remained unsold at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, despite a base price of ₹30 lakh. He has previously played for Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The match showcased a dominant display by Punjab, highlighting Singh’s exceptional talent and cementing his place in Indian cricket history.
