Urvil Patel, a 26-year-old opener from Gujarat, has made history yet again in T20 cricket, becoming the first batter to score two centuries in fewer than 40 balls. His unbeaten 115 off 41 deliveries, which included eight boundaries and 11 sixes, propelled Gujarat to an eight-wicket victory against Uttarakhand. This incredible feat comes just six days after his record-breaking 28-ball century in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Despite his explosive performances, Patel was surprisingly released by his IPL franchise and went unsold in the mega auction.
In a thrilling performance, Gujarat's opener Urvil Patel smashed his second T20 century in just six days, leading his team to a dominant victory over Uttarakhand. Patel's knock of 115 off 41 balls included 11 sixes and eight boundaries, making him the first player in T20 history to score two hundreds in under 40 balls. This landmark achievement follows his record-breaking 28-ball century against Tripura just a week ago, solidifying Patel's reputation as one of the most explosive batsmen in the game.
Urvil Patel, a relatively unknown player from Gujarat, has broken a T20 record previously held by the most expensive player at the recent IPL mega auction, Rishabh Pant. Patel's incredible knock of 113 off just 35 deliveries has made him the fastest Indian to hit a T20 century, beating Pant's record by four balls. Despite being shortlisted at the auction, Patel was not bought by any team, making his record-breaking performance even more remarkable. After his stunning innings, he has caught the attention of IPL franchises as a potential injury replacement. With almost 1,000 runs in his T20 career so far, Patel could be the next big thing in Indian cricket.
