Ashutosh Sharma, who bats in the middle of the order for Railways, has surpassed Yuvraj Singh's record for the quickest fifty by an Indian player.

On Tuesday, October 17, Ashutosh accomplished an amazing accomplishment while competing in the current Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at the JSCA Oval Ground in Ranchi. He was playing against Arunachal Pradesh at the time.

Ashutosh scored fifty off only 11 deliveries against Arunachal Pradesh in Group C of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in Ranchi. Yuvraj's fifty off 12 deliveries against England in the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 had stood as the record for the previous 16 years.

Ashutosh entered the crease at No. 6 with the team's score at 131-4 after 15 overs. The following five overs were complete pandemonium. In the final five overs, Railways added 115 runs, with Ashutosh scoring 53 off just 12 deliveries.

Ashutosh, who is 25 years old, was participating in his second Twenty20 match for Railways and his tenth overall. He had made his T20 debut for Madhya Pradesh all the way back in 2018, and the most recent time he played the format was in 2019. He has only played in one 50-over game, which was also played for MP in 2019, and he has not yet made his debut in a first-class match.
