It is the second fastest T20 century in history. The fastest T20 century came from the bat of Estonia&#8217;s <!-- -->Sahil Chauhan<!-- --> when he took 27 balls to bring up a ton against Cyprus earlier this year.<br \/>Patel, who had gone unsold at the IPL 2025 Auction, smacked seven fours and 12 sixes to notch up his hundred.<br \/>Opening the innings alongside Aarya Desai, the 26-year-old Urvil stood out for his blistering hitting. Staggeringly, all of his runs towards the century came from boundaries &#8211; 28 in fours and 72 in sixes.<br \/>In first-class (FC) cricket, Patel has played six matches and accumulated 158 runs with a highest score of 60, maintaining a batting average of 14.36. His first-class record includes one half-century.<br \/>In T20 cricket, he has played 43 matches and amassed 875 runs, with a top score of 96, and an average of 20.83. His strike rate in the shortest format is a remarkable 154.32, with four half-centuries to his name. Coming into it, he had struck 115 boundaries and 26 sixes.<br \/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Fastest centuries in T20 cricket:<\/span><br \/>27 balls &#8211; Sahil Chauhan (Estonia vs Cyprus in 2024)<br \/>28 balls &#8211; Urvil Patel (Gujarat vs Tripura in 2024)<br \/>30 balls &#8211; Chris Gayle (Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Pune Warriors in 2013)<br \/>32 balls &#8211; Rishabh Pant (Delhi vs Himachal Pradesh in 2018)<br \/>33 balls &#8211; W Lubbe (North West vs Limpopo in 2018)<br \/>33 balls &#8211; Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton (Namibia vs Nepal in 2024)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
