This comes a year after he smashed the second-fastest hundred by an Indian in List-A cricket. Urvil, 26, bettered Rishabh Pant's record (32-ball century against Himachal Pradesh in 2018) for the fastest T20 hundred by an Indian.

Meanwhile, fifties by skipper Shreyas Iyer and veteran Ajinkya Rahane carried Mumbai to a five-wicket win over Maharashtra in a Group C match. Iyer struck a 71 off 39 balls to lead the chase of 172. Rahane scored 52 off 34 balls as Mumbai overhauled the target in 17.1 overs.
