Emerald high school ground

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Gujarat opener Urvil Patel on Tuesday smashed his second T20 century in just six days, in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Uttarakhand at the Emerald High School Ground. Patel blazed to a 36-ball hundred, leading Gujarat to a commanding eight-wicket victory in just 13.1 overs.

Patel’s century made him the first batter in T20 cricket history to notch up two hundreds in fewer than 40 balls. This milestone comes hot on the heels of his record-breaking 28-ball century last week against Tripura on the same ground.

Chasing a target of 183, Patel unleashed a breathtaking assault, finishing unbeaten on 115 off just 41 deliveries. His innings included eight boundaries and 11 towering sixes, showcasing his ability to decimate any bowling attack. His onslaught ensured Gujarat comfortably achieved the target with 41 balls to spare.
