Ishan Kishan Record in List A Cricket: Indian cricket team’s star wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan is seen in tremendous form these days. In the first match of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, he created history by batting stormily against Karnataka. By completing his century in just 33 balls, Ishaan took the record of scoring the fastest century as a wicket-keeper batsman in List A cricket.
Created chaos by landing at number 6
Jharkhand captain Ishan Kishan came to bat at number 6 in this match. As soon as he came on the field, he adopted an aggressive style and started hitting long shots all around. Ishaan played an explosive inning of 125 runs in just 39 balls, which included 14 sixes and 7 fours. During this period his strike rate was 320.51, which completely changed the course of the match.
Continuous excellent performance in domestic cricket
Recently, under the captaincy of Ishan Kishan, Jharkhand won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title. His consistently brilliant performances in domestic cricket have caught the attention of the selectors. This is the reason why he has got a place in the Indian T20 team for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Apart from this, Ishaan has also been included in the Indian team for the T20 series against New Zealand.
Jharkhand made a huge score of 412 runs
Apart from the stormy innings of Ishan Kishan, other batsmen of Jharkhand also made important contributions. Shikhar Mohan scored 44 runs, Virat Singh scored 88 runs and Kumar Kushagra added 63 runs. There was an important partnership of 129 runs for the fourth wicket between Virat and Kushagra. With the contribution of all these, Jharkhand scored a huge score of 412 runs for 9 wickets in 50 overs.
Ishaan’s century overshadowed Padikkal’s innings
However, even Ishan Kishan’s innings of 125 runs could not help Jharkhand win. For Karnataka, Devdutt Padikkal played a brilliant inning of 147 runs in 118 balls. Captain Mayank Agarwal also scored 54 runs in 34 balls and made a partnership of 114 runs in 11.5 overs with Padikkal.
Karnataka’s record run chase
Karnataka achieved the difficult target of 413 runs with 15 balls remaining. In the end, Abhinav Manohar scored unbeaten 56 runs in 32 balls and Dhruv Prabhakar scored unbeaten 40 runs in 22 balls and made a partnership of 88 runs in just 41 balls for the sixth wicket and gave the team a memorable victory. Thus, even though Karnataka won the match, Ishan Kishan’s historic century will be remembered for a long time.
