CSK Star Sarfaraz Khan Smashes Fastest List A Fifty by an Indian in Vijay Hazare Trophy
Chennai Super Kings recruit Sarfaraz Khan delivered a historic performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, smashing the fastest List A half-century ever recorded by an Indian cricketer. Playing for Mumbai against Punjab, Sarfaraz reached his fifty in just 15 balls, surpassing the previous 16-ball record held jointly by Abhijit Kale (1995) and Atish Sheth (2021).
Sarfaraz's explosive innings saw him score 62 runs off just 20 deliveries, featuring seven fours and five sixes. His assault included taking 30 runs off a single over bowled by Punjab captain Abhishek Sharma. Although Mumbai ultimately fell short by one run in their chase of 217, Sarfaraz's blistering form highlights his readiness ahead of the IPL 2026 season, where he is set to represent CSK. He has been a consistent run-scorer for Mumbai in the domestic circuit, accumulating 303 runs at an average of 75.75 in the ongoing VHT.
