Headline: Record-Breaking Blitz: Kishan and Gani Smash Fastest List A Centuries in Vijay Hazare Trophy
Ranchi, India – The Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025 has witnessed an unprecedented display of explosive batting, with two Indian players shattering the record for the fastest List A century within minutes of each other on Wednesday.
Ishan Kishan, the Jharkhand and Sunrisers Hyderabad wicketkeeper-batsman, celebrated his selection for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in spectacular fashion, blasting a 33-ball century against Karnataka. Kishan, batting at No. 6, hammered 125 off just 39 balls, including 14 sixes and 7 fours, in a brutal assault on the Karnataka bowling attack.
However, Kishan’s record was short-lived. Bihar captain Sakibul Gani soon eclipsed his feat, smashing a blistering century in just 32 balls against Arunachal Pradesh. Gani’s innings included a staggering 15 sixes, as he went on to score 190 off 84 balls.
Both performances came during the opening round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025 and highlight the incredible talent and aggressive approach of young Indian batsmen. Kishan’s form is especially encouraging for Sunrisers Hyderabad fans, who saw their Rs 11.25 crore acquisition in the IPL 2025 mega auction display his destructive potential.
Kishan’s recent form extends beyond this innings, having led Jharkhand to their maiden Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy 2025 title, scoring a century in the final. His consistent performances have earned him a recall to the Indian side for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026.
The Vijay Hazare Trophy is off to a thrilling start, with these record-breaking performances setting the stage for a high-octane tournament.
