Shattering A 21-Year-Old Record

The young prodigy's explosive hitting completely rewrote the international record books for the fastest fifty in this format. The previous world record belonged to Kaushalya Weeraratne, who hit a 12-ball half-century during a domestic match in 2005.

The opening batsman eventually fell just short of a century, departing for a brilliant 94 runs off 29 balls. His incredible individual innings included 10 boundaries and 8 spectacular sixes before he was caught out.

Following the opening blitz, India A completed their 50 overs at 377-9. Captain Tilak Varma contributed 67 runs alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad's 40 runs to set a final target of 378 runs for Sri Lanka A.
