Days after hitting the fastest T20 ton by an Indian player, Urvil Patel has slammed yet another century in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The Gujarat wicketkeeper batter Urvil, who went unsold at the 2025 mega auction, has hit another blistering hundred, this time against Uttarakhand in the fifth match of the tournament. Urvil slammed a hundred in just 36 balls in the second innings of the clash against Uttarakhand.
His unbeaten 41-ball 115-run knock helped his side chase down the 183-run target with pretty ease. Gujarat won their fourth game of the season by 8 wickets with 41 balls to go. Urvil's knock was laced with 8 boundaries and 11 sixes as the opening batter punished the bowlers with his impeccable hard-hitting.
He had earlier hit the fastest ton by an Indian batter in T20 cricket when he slammed a 28-ball hundred against Tripura last week. The fastest ton record had earlier belonged to Rishabh Pant, who made a century in 32 balls in 2018. After his second ton in 36 balls, Urvil has become the first Indian player to hit two T20 centuries inside 40 balls in the format.
He is only the second player in the world to do so far South African batter David Miller. 1 - Urvil Patel: 28-ball hundred 2 - Rishabh Pant: 32-ball hundred 3 - : 35-ball hundred 4 - Urvil Patel: 36-ball hundred 5 - Yusuf Pathan: 37-ball hundred 6 - Shreyas Iyer: 38-ball hundred 7 - Ricky Bhui: 38-ball hundred.
