Sakibul Gani has become the first batter in the history of first-class cricket to hit a century on debut, achieving the feat in Bihar’s opening round match of Ranji Trophy against Mizoram in Kolkata.
He combined with Babul Kumar, who struck a double-century himself, to send Mizoram bowlers on a leather hunt at the Jadavpur University Campus. The duo added 399 runs for the fourth wicket.
He blazed 341 runs off 405 balls, eclipsing the previous record of MP’s Ajay Rohera (unbeaten 267 against Hyderabad in 2018).
