Abhimanyu Easwaran once again showcased his incredible form by hitting a stunning century during the Irani Cup at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on October 3. Facing a massive first-innings score set by Mumbai, Easwaran, playing for the Rest of India, stepped up when it mattered the most.

Opening alongside captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Easwaran remained steady despite losing his partner early. Gaikwad departed after scoring just 9 runs, falling to Mohammad Juned Khan. But the Bengal opener, unfazed, took control of the innings and kept the scoreboard ticking.

The big moment came in the 43rd over when Mohit Avasthi bowled a fuller-length delivery outside off. The Bengal batter got an outside edge, and the ball raced away to the third man boundary, sealing his century with a four. He reached his hundred in just 117 balls, a testament to his excellent form and determination.
