Century in Just 26 Balls! Zain Naqvi Becomes Cricket’s New Power-Hitter, Leaves World in Shock

While IPL 2025 has seen its fair share of fireworks from rising stars like Priyansh Arya and Abhishek Sharma, a new name has suddenly lit up the global cricket scene—Zain Naqvi. The 23-year-old has stunned the cricketing world with an unbelievable 26-ball century, rewriting records in a European T10 League match.


Zain Naqvi’s Monster Knock: 160 in Just 37 Balls!

Representing Markhor Milano, Naqvi went ballistic in a clash against Team Cividate. His innings?

  • 160 runs off 37 balls
  • 24 sixes and 2 fours
  • A jaw-dropping strike rate of 432.43
  • And the most stunning part: 6 sixes in 6 balls in the final over!

This innings wasn’t just a one-off explosion—it felt like a statement. A century in 26 balls? That’s cricket’s version of a mic drop.


Match Summary: Total Domination by Markhor Milano

Thanks to Naqvi’s carnage, Markhor Milano posted 210/2. Teammates Ata Ullah and Visal Hussain contributed modestly with 2 and 25 runs respectively.

In response, Team Cividate crumbled under pressure, getting bowled out for 106 in 9 overs. Only Shahbaz Masood showed some fight, scoring 34 runs.


Zain Naqvi: From Unknown to Unstoppable

Although he plays for Italy's national cricket team, Naqvi’s international career hasn’t taken off yet—just 7 runs in 4 T20Is. But after this innings, scouts and franchises are surely watching closely.

Cricket lovers are already calling him the next big thing. With such raw power and fearless hitting, Zain Naqvi might just be one breakout performance away from turning this T10 heroics into a global T20 sensation.
