Unsold at auction: Cole smashes explosive T20I century, breaks Chris Gayle’s record

The mega auction of IPL 2025 has ended recently. While the fortunes of some players have opened up in the player buyout, some players have been disappointed. Today we will talk about one such player who was unsold in the IPL Mega Auction. In T20 cricket, he has done something that surprised everyone. In the Syed Mushtaq Alli Trophy, Gujarat’s opening batsman Urvil Patel scored a hundred in just 28 balls. This match was between Gujarat and Tripura in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In this match, Gujarat won the toss and decided to bowl first. Tripura batted first and scored 155 runs. Gujarat came down to the field with a target of 156 runs. And Urvil Patel opened with Arya Desai. Urvil single-handedly made the team win by scoring a century. He scored 13 runs in 35 balls while he scored a hundred in 28 balls. Which includes 12 streets and 7 streets. Urvill’s hundred is the second fastest in T20 cricket. He scored this century from 28 balls while his first century came in 27 balls. Which is in the name of Sahil Chauhan. If Urvill had made this century in 26 balls, he would have set a world record. In this record, he has left behind even the worst batsman Chris Gayle. Chris Gayle scored a hundred off 30 balls. 26-year-old Urvil Patel set his base price at Rs 30 lakh in IPL 2025. He did not want to buy any team. Urvil is a wicket keeper batsman. Urvil Patel is a resident of Bododar, Gujarat. He made his debut for Baroda against Mumbai in Rajkot in 2018. That year he stepped into List A cricket. Similarly, in 2023 IPL, Gujarat Titans bought him for 20 lakh rupees. He did not get a chance to play a single match. No team bought him after releasing Gujarat. Urvil has scored 988 runs at an average of 23.52 and a strike rate of 164.11 in 44 T20 matches. Which includes one percent and 4 half percent.
