Meghalaya Cricketer Sets First-Class Record with 11-Ball Fifty

Meghalaya cricketer Akash Kumar Choudhary has set a new world record in a Ranji Trophy match by scoring the fastest-ever fifty in first-class cricket. The 25-year-old reached the half-century mark in just 11 deliveries against Arunachal Pradesh in Surat. His explosive, unbeaten innings of 50 off 14 balls also included another record-breaking feat: smashing eight consecutive sixes. This remarkable display of power-hitting is one of the most extraordinary in the history of domestic cricket.
