In the SMAT 2024 encounter between Baroda and Sikkim, the former created history by smashing 349 in 20 overs. It was an absolute carnage from the Baroda unit as they hammered 37 sixes in their record-breaking score and 15 of those came off the bat of Bhanu Pania who hit 134 off 51 balls.

He scored half-century off 20 balls and then century in 42 balls and has displayed the world, the talent he possess. Bhanu Pania is right-handed middle-order batter who made both his List A and T20 debut for Baroda in 2021. He is 28-year-old and was born in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The century against Sikkim was his first T20 century and his highest score before this knock was 55. 

Baroda Continue Dominance With A Record-Win

Also, before the Sikkim game, his average in T20s was 25.61 in 35 matches and he scored his runs at a healthy strike-rate of 135.68. His List A average is just 21, but he has been in good form in the the current edition of SMAT with handy knocks against Karnataka, Saurashtra and Tamil Nadu before the Sikkim Heroics.

Along with Bhanu Pania, Shivalik Sharma and Vishnu Solanki also smashed the balls all over the park and hit quickfire fifties to take Baroda to the highest-ever T20 total. In reply, Sikkim could muster only 86 runs and Baroda registered a massive win of 263 runs to continue their domination in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024.
