Ruturaj Gaikwad Smashes Record-Equaling 15th Vijay Hazare Century, Becomes Fastest to 5,000 List A Runs
Chennai Super Kings star Ruturaj Gaikwad delivered a monumental performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, smashing a record-equaling 15th century in the tournament. Playing for Maharashtra in their final league-stage match against Goa, Gaikwad anchored the innings after a top-order collapse saw his side lose three wickets for just two runs.
His unbeaten knock of 134 off 131 balls not only rescued Maharashtra but also placed him alongside teammate Ankeet Bawane for the most centuries in the competition's history. Gaikwad achieved this milestone in just 59 innings, significantly faster than Bawane's 94 innings. Furthermore, the 28-year-old opener reached 5,000 List A runs in record time during the innings, boosting his List A average to 58.83—the highest in the world among players with at least 50 innings.
