Ruturaj Gaikwad scored an unbeaten 134 against Goa in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, equalling the record for the most centuries (15) in the tournament's history. He achieved this milestone in just 59 innings, faster than co-record holder Ankit Bawne. Gaikwad's century, which included eight fours and six sixes, helped Maharashtra post 249/7. This performance comes after his exclusion from India's ODI squad for the New Zealand series. His List A average also rose to a world-leading 58.83.
