Mhatre breaks Yashasvi Jaiswal's List A World Record

At just 17 years and 168 days, Ayush Mhatre has set a new world record for the youngest player to score 150+ in List A cricket. The younger Mumbai batter set the milestone during the Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Nagaland in Ahmedabad.

Mhatre broke the previous record set by India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was 17 years and 291 days when he achieved the feat while playing for Mumbai against Jharkhand in 2019. Mhatre slammed 11 sixes and 15 fours to make 181 off only 117 balls while powering his side to an imposing 403 for seven in their 50 overs. The younger batter hails from the Virar suburb of Mumbai and made his debut for domestic giants Mumbai earlier this season.

The 17-year-old has been a regular fixture for the domestic heavyweights across formats ever since he broke into the squad earlier this season. He was a part of the Irani Cup-winning Mumbai side which defeated Rest of India to win the trophy after a gap of 27 years in October. On his Ranji Trophy debut, Mhatre scored a fine 71-ball 52 but Mumbai lost the season opener to Baroda in an away game.
