Anmolpreet Singh has just rewritten Indian cricket history.
The Punjab batter smashed the fastest List A century by an Indian, blasting a jaw-dropping 100 in just 35 balls against Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, breaking Yusuf Pathan’s 14-year-old record — and doing it in style.
🚀 A Record That Shocked Everyone
Walking in at No. 3 after captain Abhishek Sharma’s early dismissal, Anmolpreet didn’t take time to settle. He attacked from ball one, turning the match into a one-man show.
-
115 off 45 balls*
-
12 fours & 9 sixes
-
31 runs in one over off spinner Techi Neri
Punjab chased 165 runs in just 12.5 overs, winning by 9 wickets, with Prabhsimran Singh supporting with 35 off 25 balls.
This wasn’t just fast — it was ruthless.
🔥 Bigger Than Yusuf Pathan’s Record
Anmolpreet’s century is now:
-
🇮🇳 Fastest List A hundred by an Indian
-
🌍 Third-fastest List A century in history
Only Jake Fraser-McGurk (29 balls) and AB de Villiers (31 balls) stand ahead of him globally.
Elite company. Elite impact.
