Cricket fans witnessed one of the most unbelievable moments in Ranji Trophy history as an Elite Group C match between Assam and Services in Tinsukia, Assam, finished in just 90 overs — shorter than a typical ODI. What was supposed to be a four-day Ranji Trophy 2025 clash turned into a record-breaking encounter that ended within four sessions, producing 359 runs, 32 wickets, and two hat-tricks — all in under 100 overs.

The pitch offered extreme assistance to bowlers, turning the game into a battle for survival. Yet, Riyan Parag once again proved his growing stature in Indian domestic cricket with a gritty all-round performance, standing tall when batters struggled to even survive.

The Player of the Match, Arjun Sharma, scripted history alongside Mohit Jangra as the pair became the first duo in 91 years of Ranji Trophy to claim two separate hat-tricks in the same innings. One as a left-arm spinner and the other as a left-arm pacer — a rare and extraordinary feat.

The Assam vs Services Ranji Trophy 2025 encounter will forever be remembered as one of the shortest and most thrilling matches in Indian domestic cricket history.
