Hyderabad batsman Tanmay Agarwal broke records by hitting a triple century in just 147 deliveries in a Ranji Trophy match against Arunachal Pradesh on Friday. Agarwal’s outstanding knock broke numerous records, and Hyderabad managed to score 529 runs in just 48 overs with one wicket lost.

In a first-class cricket match, this was the first time ever that a batter had hit a triple century in less than 150 balls. This was the first “first-class” cricket match played in approximately 252 years, according to Wisden Almanack, which dates the match to 1772.

In first-class cricket, this was the fastest triple-century ever recorded by Agarwal, breaking the previous mark held by Marco Marais since 2017. With 33 fours and 21 sixes in Agarwal’s innings, he broke Ishan Kishan’s previous record for the most sixes hit in an innings in first-class cricket.

In addition, the 28-year-old made Ranji history by becoming the first player to score 300 or more runs in a single day.

In first-class cricket, Agarwal scored the seventh-most runs by a batter in a single day of play with 323 off just 160 balls. In terms of minutes, it was also the second-fastest triple ton.

Agarwal broke not only the record for the fastest first-class double century by an Indian, but also the record for the fastest triple century. He broke the previous record set by Ravi Shastri, who hit a double century in 123 balls against Baroda in 1985, by accomplishing the feat in just 119 balls. All things considered, it was the second-fastest double century in first-class cricket history.
