The innings ranks as the second-fastest hundred by an Indian in List A cricket, falling just one ball short of the national record set earlier the same day by Bihar skipper Sakibul Gani, who reached the milestone in 32 deliveries against Arunachal Pradesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kishan\u2019s latest feat adds to an extraordinary run of form for the left-hander. Only days ago, he was a surprise inclusion in India\u2019s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, shortly after captaining Jharkhand to their first-ever Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
During the SMAT campaign, Kishan topped the charts with 517 runs and played a decisive role in the final against Haryana, where he struck a blistering century. His hundred came off just 45 balls, making him only the second player to score a ton in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final and registering as the third-fastest century in a men\u2019s T20 final. With five centuries in the tournament, he now shares the record for most hundreds in SMAT history with Abhishek Sharma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kishan\u2019s explosive credentials are well established at the international level, too. He holds the record for the fastest double century in One-Day Internationals, reaching the landmark in just 126 balls against Bangladesh in 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Vijay Hazare Trophy witnessed several breathtaking performances on Wednesday. It all started with youngster Vaibhav Sooryavanshi grabbing headlines with his 36-ball century for Bihar, which he later converted into an 84-ball 190 before his knock came to an end. What followed next in the same innings was Gani\u2019s record-breaking ton and Ayush Loharuka\u2019s 56-ball 116 as Bihar finished with a massive 574 runs on the scoreboard against Arunachal Pradesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Courtesy of Kishan\u2019s recent performances in the domestic arena, he has earned a recall to the international setup, having been named in India\u2019s T20I squad for the five-game series against New Zealand and the T20 World Cup in February 2026.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
