Ishan Kishan's blitzkrieg 173 off 94 balls put Vijay Hazare Trophy on fire

Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021: Jharkhand captain Ishan Kishan shows an incredible exhibition of power-hitting in a match against Madhya Pradesh on Saturday (December 20). The skipper notched 173 off 94 deliveries, comprising 19 fours and 11 massive sixes - his highest List A score and it comes at the jam-packed MP's Holker Stadium in Indore. The southpaw achieved the feat against a strong Madhya Pradesh team.

With the IPL 2021 up for grab, the reigning champions Mumbai Indians (MI) batsman and former India U-19 vice-captain make his intentions very clear by smacking the quickest centuries in the history of the 50-over in the domestic circuit. Kishan blasts this scintillating knock just ahead of the upcoming 14th edition of the cash-rich league.
