Calcutta: India's Test wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha on Saturday bludgeoned an unbeaten 20-ball 102 as his team Mohun Bagan beat BNR Recreation Club by 10 wickets in a T20 JC Mukherjee Trophy match at the Kalighat ground.
Wriddhiman, who will be turning out for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) this season, smashed 14 sixes and four fours to gun down a modest target of 152 in just seven overs. And days before the IPL XI, this innings will give the Sunrisers think-tank a lot of reasons to smile about.
Wriddhiman took just 12 balls to reach 50 and also then during the course of the blitzkrieg also smoked six sixes in an over.
He completed his century in just 20 balls, hitting the winning runs too with a six.
"I don't know whether this is a record or not. I tried to play different shots and had that in mind ahead of the IPL," Saha told reporters after the match.
