Bengaluru: It is a dream for every cricketer to score a century or take a five-wicket haul in a cricket match but what will you call it if anyone manages to do both in a match. Krishnappa Gowtham, who plays for Rajasthan Royals in Indian Premier League, smashed the fastest hundred in Karnataka Premier League (KPL) off just 39 balls before returning to pick up 8 wickets for just 15 runs to demolish Shivamogga Lions.
Playing for Bellary Tuskers, Gowtham hit an unbeaten 134 off 56 deliveries with the help of 13 sixes, completing his century in just 39 balls.
Gowtham also went on to register a dream bowling figure, picking up 8/15 in his 4 overs, leading his side to a 70-run victory.

Speaking after the match, he said: "I don't think I expected this, nor did anyone else out here. Thanks to everyone who turned up and supported us."
Gowtham's bowling performance could have been the best bowling figure ever in T20 cricket, but KPL matches aren't officially recognised.
