List of Ranji Trophy records

Batting records III

Rishabh Pant was brilliant throughout the 2017-18 season

Fastest century: In the 2016-17 season, Delhi batsman Rishabh Pant created numerous records among which his record for the fastest century in Ranji Trophy stood out. He took just 48 balls to reach the three-figure mark against Jharkhand in Trivandrum. He was eventually dismissed for 135 off 67 balls with eight fours and 12 sixes.

Most sixes in an innings: In the same match in which Rishabh Pant recorded the fastest Ranji Trophy century, his India under-19 teammate and Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan equalled the record for the most sixes in a Ranji Trophy innings. The 18-year-old smashed 14 sixes in his knock of 273 runs off 336 balls a couple of days before Pant went mad and equalled the record of Himachal Pradesh's Shakti Singh, who had hit 14 sixes against Haryana in November 1990.

Highest partnership: Maharashtra pair of Swapnil Gugale and Ankit Bawne put on an unbeaten 594-run partnership for the third wicket against Delhi at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in 2016. Skipper Gugale scored a career-best unbeaten 351 while Bawne was not out on 258 when the innings was declared.

Had they scored 30 more runs, they would have broken the highest partnership in first-class cricket but Gugale admitted that he wasn't aware of the record when he declared the innings.

Most runs in a season: Former Indian middle-order batsman VVS Laxman scored 1415 runs for Hyderabad in the 1999/00 season and made a strong case for himself as he was in and out of the Indian team at the time. The likes of Shreyas Iyer and Priyank Panchal threatened to break it but they finished their respective Ranji seasons within striking distance of the Hyderabadi's record.
