Overview
- The Meghalaya all-rounder became the first batter in first-class history to clear the ropes eight times in a row, including six in one over off left-arm spinner Limar Dabi.
- He finished unbeaten on 50 from 14 balls as Meghalaya declared at 628 for 6, following major contributions from Arpit Bhatewara (double-century), Rahul Dalal (144) and captain Kishan Lyngdoh (119).
- Arunachal Pradesh were bowled out for 73 in reply and were made to follow on, leaving Meghalaya in complete control in Surat.
- Choudhary also opened the bowling and took an early wicket, capping a standout day with both bat and ball.
- The 11-ball half-century broke Wayne White’s 2012 mark of 12 balls and placed Choudhary alongside Garry Sobers and Ravi Shastri as a six-sixes-in-an-over achiever, underscoring a Plate Group season rich in records.
