Only two days have passed since the IPL 2025 mega auction took place. At present, the most talked about players are those who were sold the most expensively in the auction. But no one is talking about those which remained unsold. Meanwhile, a player has scored the fastest T20 century by an Indian batsman and has given a befitting reply to his being unsold. We are talking about Urvil Patel of Gujarat. He has broken the record of Rishabh Pant, who has become the most expensive player of IPL. By suddenly doing this feat he has shocked the whole world. He managed to lead his team to victory and did not get out till the end.
Record made in Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament
Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament is currently going on in India. IPL players and Indian team players are participating in this tournament. Especially the Indian players who were injured are making a comeback from this tournament. Meanwhile, IPL teams also keep an eye on this tournament, because the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament is played on T20 format. IPL franchises select new players from this tournament and then bid heavily on them.
Urvil Patel scored a century on 32 balls
Now let’s talk about Urvil Patel. He has destroyed the record of Rishabh Pant. The batsman who has scored the fastest century in T20 cricket for India till now was Rishabh Pant. In the year 2018, he had destroyed all the records by scoring a century on 32 balls in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Tournament, but now Rishabh Pant has gone to the second position. Urvil Patel has scored a century on 28 balls in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He achieved this feat while playing for Gujarat against Tripura. The special thing is that Urvil Patel is also a wicket-keeper batsman like Pant.
No buyer found in IPL
This time also Urvil Patel had given his name for the IPL auction, but perhaps he could not make the shortlist. Although before this he had been in the squad of IPL team Gujarat Titans, but he did not get a chance to play. This time he did not even get time to come to the auction. Thanks to the strong batting of Urvil Patel, Gujarat team won the match by 8 wickets. When the match ended, Urvil had scored 113 runs on 35 balls and remained unbeaten. During this innings, Urvil hit 7 fours and 12 sixes.
