Ahmedabad .

Thanks to this stormy innings of Anmolpreet, Punjab defeated Arunachal Pradesh by nine wickets.

After him comes South Africa’s AB de Villiers, who scored a century on 31 balls against West Indies in Johannesburg in 2014-15.

Right-handed batsman Anmolpreet scored unbeaten 115 runs in 45 balls which included 12 fours and nine sixes. With the help of his innings, Punjab achieved the target of 165 runs in just 12.5 overs. Punjab scored 167 runs for one wicket. After the early dismissal of captain Abhishek Sharma (10), Anmolpreet made an unbroken partnership of 153 runs for the second wicket with Prabhsimran Singh (35 not out) to give the team an easy victory.
