Sarfaraz Khan scores yet another century in the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament.

Overview

  • Gaikwad reached his hundred in 122 balls against Himachal Pradesh at TI Murugappa and progressed to 133, according to live reports.
  • He and opener Arshin Kulkarni added 220 for the second wicket, with Kulkarni making 146 off 190 deliveries.
  • The innings followed earlier scores of 1 and 11 in Maharashtra’s opening defeat, and the team remains winless after losses to Chhattisgarh and TNCA President’s XI.
  • The Buchi Babu Invitational serves as pre-season preparation and is not first-class, so performances do not add to official first-class records.
  • Gaikwad last featured for India on July 13, 2024 and missed much of IPL 2025 through injury, while elsewhere Sarfaraz Khan kept up his form for Mumbai with 92 off 92 after a century in his previous match.
