Ishan Kishan Becomes Second-fastest Indian To Smash Century In List A History

By IANS News December 24, 2025 • 13:26 PM View: 608

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan produced a breathtaking display of power-hitting, smashing a 33-ball century against Karnataka in a Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

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.

Kishan’s latest feat adds to an extraordinary run of form for the left-hander. Only days ago, he was a surprise inclusion in India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, shortly after captaining Jharkhand to their first-ever Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph.
