**Chandigarh, India** – Anmolpreet Singh smashed the record for the fastest List A century by an Indian cricketer during Punjab’s dominant 9-wicket victory over Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He achieved the feat in a breathtaking 35 balls, hitting 12 fours and 9 sixes en route to an unbeaten 115 from just 45 deliveries.
Chasing a modest 165, Punjab reached the target in a mere 12.5 overs. While Prabhsimran Singh contributed 35 runs, it was Anmolpreet’s explosive innings that stole the show. His knock is the third-fastest in List A history, falling just short of AB de Villiers’ 31-ball century and Jack Fraser-Mcgark’s record 29-ball century. However, it surpasses Shahid Afridi’s 37-ball century and sets a new benchmark for Indian batsmen in the format.
Arunachal Pradesh, batting first, managed only 164 runs in 48.4 overs, with Techi Neri’s 42 being the top score. Anmolpreet’s incredible innings overshadowed Arunachal’s performance, leaving them with a comprehensive defeat.
Anmolpreet’s career List A record now stands at 1492 runs from 49 matches, including 4 centuries and 8 fifties. His overall first-class record is equally impressive, boasting 2880 runs in 46 matches with 7 centuries and 12 fifties. This blistering performance further solidifies Anmolpreet’s position as a rising star in Indian cricket.
