Tanmay Agarwal Smashes Fastest First-Class Triple Hundred

In a historic display of batting prowess, Hyderabad opener Tanmay Agarwal etched his name in the annals of cricketing records by scoring the fastest triple hundred in First-Class cricket during the Ranji Trophy round four match against Arunachal Pradesh. Agarwal’s phenomenal innings took place at the NexGen Cricket Ground in Hyderabad, where he achieved this remarkable feat in just 147 deliveries, surpassing the previous record set by South Africa‘s Marco Marais, who scored 300 runs in 191 balls for Border against Eastern Province in 2017.

Agarwal’s innings not only broke records but also saw him rewrite history by surpassing former Indian captain Ravi Shastri’s 39-year-old record for the fastest double hundred by an Indian in First-Class cricket. Agarwal reached the 200-mark in just 119 balls, making it the second-fastest double century in First-Class cricket overall.

The Hyderabad batsman’s aggressive batting was evident in his staggering 21 sixes, setting a new record for the most sixes in a Ranji Trophy innings. This impressive display of power-hitting eclipsed the previous record held by Ishan Kishan, who had hit 14 sixes in an innings.

Agarwal’s monumental partnership with captain Rahul Singh Gahlaut yielded 440 runs for the opening wicket in just 40.2 overs before Gahlaut was dismissed for a brilliant 185 off 105 deliveries by Techi Doria.

This incredible performance by Tanmay Agarwal has not only cemented his place in cricketing history but has also propelled Hyderabad to a dominant position in the ongoing match. His record-breaking innings will be remembered as one of the finest displays of batting in the prestigious Ranji Trophy tournament.
