Breaking News: Vaibhav Suryavanshi Smashes 36-Ball Century, Breaks 39-Year-Old Record in Indian Cricket

In a sensational performance, Vaibhav created history in Indian domestic cricket by smashing a blistering century off just 36 balls while playing for Bihar against Arunachal Pradesh. With this explosive innings, Vaibhav has become the second-fastest Indian batter to score a century in recognised domestic cricket, underlining his rising stature in the country’s cricketing landscape. Vaibhav’s knock places him just behind Anmolpreet Singh, who holds the record for the fastest century by an Indian, achieved in 35 balls. Although Vaibhav fell short of breaking that benchmark by a single delivery, his achievement remains extraordinary and historic in its own right. Most notably, Vaibhav shattered a long-standing 39-year-old record previously held by Zaheer Abbas (Zahoor Ilahi), marking a significant moment in Indian cricket history. His aggressive stroke play, fearless approach, and ability to dominate bowlers from the very start left spectators and cricket experts in awe. The innings not only provided a massive boost to Bihar’s campaign but also highlighted the depth of emerging talent in Indian domestic cricket. Performances like these reaffirm India’s strong cricketing pipeline and signal the arrival of a new generation of fearless batters ready to make their mark. This remarkable feat is being hailed as a major breakthrough moment for Vaibhav and could open doors for higher-level opportunities in the near future.
