Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan smashed a quick fifty in an Indian domestic event called Vijay Hazare Trophy on Thursday.
He reached the fifty off just 15 balls, the fastest-ever fifty by an Indian batter in a List-A match.
The Mumbai batter reached the milestone in just 15 balls during a match, breaking the previous 16-ball record jointly held by Abhijit Kale (1995) and Atit Sheth (2021).
After replacing his brother Musheer Khan at the crease, he dismantled the Punjab bowling attack, notably taking captain Abhishek Sharma to the cleaners with three sixes and three fours in a single over.
He continued the assault against spinner Harpreet Brar before eventually falling for a blistering 62 off just 20 balls, with seven fours and five sixes.
According to available data, this stands as the fourth-fastest fifty in List A history globally, sitting behind Kaushalya Weeraratne’s 12-ball record.
Despite Sarfaraz’s heroics, the match ended in heartbreak for Mumbai. Chasing 217, the team was cruising at 169 for 3 before suffering a dramatic collapse.
Sarfaraz has been in wonderful form this season, currently topping Mumbai’s run charts in the tournament with 303 runs at a staggering strike rate of 190.56.
