Urvil Patel Sets New Record For Fastest T20 Century By An Indian Player

Recently, a former Gujarat Titans player achieved a significant milestone in T20 cricket. This came just days after he remained unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. He set a new record for the fastest T20 century by an Indian player.

Urvil Patel, Gujarat's wicketkeeper-batter, made history on Wednesday. He scored the quickest T20 century by an Indian during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Tripura.

The 26-year-old reached this milestone in just 28 balls. This achievement surpassed the previous record held by Rishabh Pant, who had scored a 32-ball hundred against Himachal Pradesh in 2018 during the same tournament.

Urvil's remarkable innings also became the second-fastest T20 century globally. It was just one ball slower than Estonia's Sahil Chauhan, who hit a 27-ball hundred against Cyprus.

Opening the innings, Urvil Patel launched an aggressive attack on Tripura's bowlers. He struck 7 fours and 12 sixes to remain unbeaten on 113 from just 35 balls. His explosive performance helped Gujarat chase down their target of 156 runs in only 10.2 overs.

This innings highlighted Urvil's exceptional hitting skills and solidified his reputation as one of India's most promising domestic cricket talents.

IPL Auction Disappointment

Despite his recent achievements, Urvil faced disappointment earlier this week when he went unsold at the IPL 2025 auction. Released by Gujarat Titans last season, his record-breaking performance might attract interest from franchises seeking a game-changing player.

This extraordinary display of talent could reignite interest from teams looking to bolster their squad with dynamic players like Urvil Patel.
