SMAT 2025: On Monday, in the group match of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, such a feat took place, the echo of which is being heard throughout Indian domestic cricket. 26 year old Baroda batsman Amit Pasi created history in his debut T20 match itself. At the Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad, he played such an innings by hitting fours and sixes that he has reached number 1 in the list of players who have played the biggest innings in a T20 debut match.

Smoldering century in debut match

Amit Pasi scored 114 runs in just 55 balls in his first T20 match against Services. His innings included 10 fours and 9 sixes. This was not just a century, but a statement by which he announced his arrival in Indian domestic cricket. With this performance, Amit has equaled the record made by Pakistani player Bilal Asif in 2015. Bilal had also scored only 114 runs.

List of biggest innings in debut T20

Amit Pasi has now joined the few batsmen who scored a century in his very first match. The top-5 list of biggest innings is now as follows,

114 runs – Bilal Asif (2015)

114 runs – Amit Pasi (2025)

112 runs – Moin Khan (2005)

108 runs unbeaten – m sports (2022)

106 runs – Shivam Bhambri (2019)

Third Indian to do so in Syed Mushtaq Ali

Amit Pasi has become only the third Indian batsman to score a century in his debut match in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Before him, Akshay Reddy in 2010 and Shivam Bhambri in 2019 had achieved this feat. That means, after about 6 years, an Indian has achieved this rare feat.

Baroda’s resounding victory with Amit’s century

Talking about the match, Amit’s innings helped Baroda score a huge score of 220 runs. In reply, Services did make a balanced start but under the pressure of a big target, their run pace slowed down. Kunwar Pathak and Ravi Chauhan scored 51-51 runs, while captain Mohit Ahlawat played a quick inning of 41 runs. The team, which was progressing from 156/2, faltered in the last overs and could score only 207 runs in 20 overs. Baroda won this match by 13 runs and registered its fourth win in the tournament.
