Urvil Patel breaks costliest player Rishabh Pant’s fastest century record after going unsold in IPL auction

Gujarat wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel smashed the fastest T20 century hit by an Indian batter by smacking a 28-ball hundred in his side's 8-wicket win against Tripura ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy league stage at the Emerald Heights International School Ground in Indore.

"An outstanding performance to secure a brilliant 8-wicket victory over Tripura CA in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy! The spotlight shines on Urvil Patel, who created history by smashing the fastest century in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy history in just 28 balls!

"His explosive knock of 113 not out off 35 balls, including 7 boundaries and 12 towering sixes, has set a new benchmark in T20 cricket! Kudos to the entire team for their spirit and determination. Let’s keep this winning momentum going," Gujarat Cricket Association said in an Instagram post.
