In a remarkable achievement, Ishan Kishan registered the second-fastest hundred in List-A cricket by an Indian as he clobbered a 33-ball ton. The swashbuckling southpaw attained the remarkable feat in Jharkhand's ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy encounter against Karnataka.

Ishan Kishan overtakes Suryavanshi on fastest List-A hundreds list

Young batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi hammered a 36-ball century, registering the second-fastest ton by an Indian in List-A history. However, his Bihar teammate Sakibul Gani immediately attained greater heights by completing his century in just 32 balls in the same match against Arunachal Pradesh. 

While Bihar registered the highest team total in List-A history (574 for six), Jharkhand had a memorable outing against Karnataka, with Ishan Kishan showcasing his power-hitting. 

After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Karnataka had a great start to the game, as Vidyadhar Patil dismissed Utkarsh Singh early in the innings. Although Shikhar Mohan and Shubh Sharma couldn't convert their starts into significant scores, Virat Singh and Kumar Kushagra set the platform for Jharkhand with fighting fifties before Ishan Kishan finished things off in style. 

Coming at number six, Ishan Kishan hammered the Karnataka bowlers to all parts of the ground, completing his hundred inside 33 deliveries. 

Had he breached the three-figure mark two balls earlier, Kishan would've recorded the fastest ton as an Indian in List-A cricket. Nevertheless, he went on to claim the second place on the list, surpassing Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Ishan Kishan recently enjoyed stellar success in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, amassing 517 runs and leading Jharkhand to the title. His impressive returns in the tournament led to his wildcard entry into the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup. Thus, Ishan Kishan justified his T20 World Cup selection, showcasing red-hot form before the showpiece event. 

Riding on Ishan Kishan's blitzkreig, Jharkhand posted a monumental total against Karnataka in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. As of writing, Jharkhand were 410 for six, with Ishan and Robin Minz batting on 125* and 8*, respectively.
