Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The ongoing season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is witnessing new records being made very often. The fixture between Gujarat and Uttarakhand saw another record breached and Urvil Patel who scored a century in the previous match continued his form to script another hundred was the star performer. He scored a 36-ball hundred against Uttarakhand at the Emerald High School Ground. His century helped the team secure an eight-wicket victory within just 13.1 overs.

Patel’s ton in the match against Uttarakhand made him the first batter in T20 cricket to amass two hundred in fewer than 40 deliveries. Before scoring today’s quickfire century, the right-handed batter had scored a 28-ball century against Tripura last week.
