What the 26-year-old batsman has done in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy is considered a worthy response. Gujarat batsman Urvil Patel has given this response to the IPL franchises who refused to buy him in the auction. Urvil, who was playing for Gujarat, scored a century in just 28 balls against Tripura. This is the fastest century scored by an Indian bat in T20 cricket. Overall, this was the second fastest T20 century in world cricket.
World record saved from 1 ball
The world record for scoring the fastest century in T20 is held by Sahil Chauhan of Estonia, who achieved this feat in just 27 balls against Cyprus. That means that Urvil missed breaking his record by just 1 ball.
