Aarya Desai smashes record 193, breaks Chris Gayle’s T20 milestone
Aarya Desai broke Chris Gayle's record: Gujarat's Aarya Desai has created history in T20 cricket. He smashed 193 runs off just 81 balls, breaking Chris Gayle's record of 175. This was even after 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi recently expressed his desire to break this record.
Aarya Desai from Gujarat created history in the world of T20 cricket. Aarya scored 193 runs off 81 balls in the Surat Cricket T20 League, which is recognized by the Gujarat Cricket Association. Aarya’s 193-run score in the T20 match is the highest individual score in the world of T20 cricket, surpassing the record held by the West Indies player Chris Gayle. In fact, recently, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi expressed his hope of breaking Gayle’s record in the IPL 2026, but Aarya has already achieved the feat.
Aarya Desai, who is just 22 years old, created a buzz on social media platforms with his outstanding performance. In fact, many local pages and the official Instagram page of the Gujarat Cricket Association described Aarya’s performance as the “highest score ever in a T20 match.” GCA Secretary Anil Patel confirmed this to IANS. Previously, this record was held by Chris Gayle, who scored an unbeaten 175 in the IPL, while Aaron Finch scored 172 in T20 Internationals.
Aarya Desai, who has represented Gujarat in prestigious tournaments like the Ranji Trophy and the Duleep Trophy, impressed everyone with his batting in the Surat Cricket T20 League. He hit 21 fours and 14 sixes during his explosive innings. This is the sixth edition of the league, and the state's top prospects across all age groups from every district are participating.
