In a single day of play, the record for the fastest List A century by an Indian was broken, and then the standings were reshuffled twice more, headlined by a blistering comeback knock from Ishan Kishan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three Players Who Made History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the national spotlight was on the return of veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, it was the youngsters and domestic captains who stole the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sakibul Gani (Bihar):<\/strong> Smashed a 32-ball century, setting the new record for the fastest List A hundred by an Indian. He finished with an unbeaten 128* off just 40 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ishan Kishan (Jharkhand):<\/strong> Following his recent T20 World Cup squad selection, the Jharkhand captain proved his &#8220;X-factor&#8221; by racing to a 33-ball century. His final score was 125 off 39 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Bihar):<\/strong> The 14-year-old prodigy hit a 36-ball century, becoming the youngest centurion in List A history. He eventually scored a massive 190 off 84 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ishan Kishan\u2019s Statement of Intent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playing in an Elite-group clash against a formidable Karnataka side in Ahmedabad, Ishan Kishan\u2019s innings was a masterclass in modern power-hitting. Walking in after a solid foundation laid by Virat Singh (88) and Kumar Kushagra (63), Kishan unleashed a barrage of 14 sixes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His 33-ball ton effectively secured the second-fastest spot on the all-time Indian list, demoting Suryavanshi\u2019s earlier record to fourth in the span of just a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bihar\u2019s World Record Total<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The carnage wasn&#8217;t limited to individual milestones. Led by Gani and Suryavanshi, Bihar posted a surreal 574\/6 against Arunachal Pradesh.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This now stands as the highest team total in the history of Men\u2019s List A cricket, surpassing Tamil Nadu\u2019s previous world record of 506 in the same<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/series\">series<\/a>. The innings featured a collective 38 sixes, a testament to the aggressive evolution of the Indian domestic circuit throughout the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Statistical Context<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To put these feats into perspective, the global record for the fastest List A century is held by Australia\u2019s Jake Fraser-McGurk (29 balls). Sakibul Gani (32) and Ishan Kishan (33) have now moved into the top five of the all-time world standings, sitting alongside legends like AB de Villiers (31 balls).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":433,"template":"","tags":[41,235,236],"ppma_author":[488],"class_list":["post-432","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-indian-domestic-cricket","tag-ishan-kishan-125-off-39-balls","tag-ishan-kishan-record"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
