List A cricket has long been a stage for fearless batting, but December 24, 2025, marked an unprecedented moment in the format's history. On the same day, three Indian batters - Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Sakibul Gani and Ishan Kishan - stormed into the elite club of fastest List A centuries, rewriting record books within hours of each other during Vijay Hazare Trophy matches.

It was a rare convergence of individual brilliance that underlined how aggressively modern one-day cricket is now being played in India's domestic circuit.

Jake Fraser-McGurk's 29-Ball Hundred

Australia's Jake Fraser-McGurk currently holds the world record for the fastest List A century, reaching three figures in just 29 balls against Tasmania in 2023 - a knock that reset global expectations of scoring speed in 50-over cricket.

AB de Villiers and the Modern Template

South African great AB de Villiers previously held the benchmark with a 31-ball century against West Indies in 2015, an innings that came to symbolise innovation, power and audacity in limited-overs batting.

December 24, 2025: A Red-Letter Day for Indian Batting

Indian domestic cricket witnessed something extraordinary on December 24, 2025, when three batters achieved ultra-fast centuries on the same day, all during Vijay Hazare Trophy fixtures:

• Sakibul Gani smashed a 32-ball hundred for Bihar against Arunachal Pradesh - the fastest List A century by an Indian.
• Ishan Kishan followed with a 33-ball century for Jharkhand against Karnataka, arriving late and scoring at a staggering strike rate of 320.
• Teen prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi completed the trio by racing to his hundred in 36 balls, capping a day that will be remembered as one of the most explosive in List A history.

The coincidence of all three milestones falling on the same day makes December 24, 2025 a historic date in Indian domestic cricket, unmatched in terms of collective batting dominance.

Other Notable Entries in the Elite Club

India's surge adds to a list that also features: Anmolpreet Singh - 35 balls (2024), former New Zealand cricketer Corey Anderson - 36 balls (2014) and former Middlesex cricketer Graham Rose - 36 balls (1990).

Together, these innings show how List A cricket has evolved - but December 24, 2025 stands apart for producing three such feats in a single day.
