Urvil Patel scores fastest T20 century by an Indian after going unsold in IPL 2025 auction: Gujarat wicketkeeper-batsman Urvil Patel on Wednesday (November 27) smashed a century off 28 balls against Tripura in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. This is the second fastest century in T20 history. He reached the second spot. The fastest T20 century came off the bat of Estonia's Sahil Chauhan. He had scored a century off 27 balls against Cyprus earlier this year. Surprisingly, Urvil Patel was not bought by anyone in the IPL Mega Auction 2025.

Urvit Patel hit seven fours and 12 sixes to complete his century. He remained unbeaten on 113 off 35 balls. Thanks to his innings, Gujarat scored 156 runs in 20 overs. Opening the innings with Arya Desai, 26-year-old Urvil impressed everyone with his explosive batting. He broke the record of India's star batsman Rishabh Pant with his innings. Pant was bought by Lucknow Super Giants in the mega auction for a record Rs 27 crore. He became the most expensive player in IPL history.
