This match marked Suryavanshi’s fifth appearance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Prior to this, he had already made waves with a century in the IPL 2025 and another against the UAE in the Rising Stars Asia Cup, where his score of 144 remains his highest T20 score to date.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Fastest T20 Century
Suryavanshi’s quickest century came against the UAE in the Rising Stars Asia Cup in 2025, reaching the milestone in just 32 balls. This was the third-fastest century ever recorded by an Indian batsman. He earned his first India A cap during the Rising Stars Asia Cup in Qatar.
