Vaibhav Suryavanshi scores second-fastest List A hundred by an Indian

Bihar opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi lit up the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 with a blistering century against Arunachal Pradesh on Wednesday, reaching the landmark in just 36 balls. It is the second-fastest hundred by an Indian in List A cricket.

The Indian record is held by Punjab’s Anmolpreet Singh, who struck a 35-ball hundred against the same opposition in 2024.

The overall List A record, however, belongs to Australia’s Jake Fraser-McGurk, who smashed a century off just 29 deliveries for South Australia against Tasmania in the 2023-24 season. South Africa great AB de Villiers is next on the all-time list, having plundered a 31-ball hundred against the West Indies in Johannesburg.
