Ishan Kishan Blasts 45-Ball Century in SMAT, Powers Jharkhand to Dominant Win

Ishan Kishan delivered a stunning display of power-hitting in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), smashing an unbeaten century to guide Jharkhand to a comfortable eight-wicket victory over Tripura. The wicketkeeper-batsman reached his hundred off just 45 balls, demonstrating exceptional form ahead of the upcoming IPL season.

Kishan's masterful innings of 113 not out was the cornerstone of Jharkhand's chase of 183. His aggressive approach ensured the target was overhauled quickly, finishing the match in just 17.3 overs. This performance underscores Kishan's explosive T20 capabilities and serves as a timely reminder of his value in the white-ball format, particularly for his IPL franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad.
