This knock is also the third fastest List A hundred behind Aussie Jake-Fraser McGurk, who smashed a 29-ball ton for South Australia against Tasmania in 2023-24, and South African AB de Villiers' 31-ball hundred against the West Indies at Johannesburg in 2014-15.

India To Host ISSF Junior World Cup For First Time In 2025

India will be hosting the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Junior World Cup for the first time in the second half of 2025.
