Meghalaya’s Akash Kumar Choudhary made history by hitting eight sixes in a row in a Ranji Trophy match against Arunachal Pradesh. He also scored the fastest fifty in first-class cricket — in just 11 balls. The match, played in Surat, ended with Meghalaya winning by 725 runs. While Akash’s feat drew praise, former players say such records show how uneven the Ranji Trophy has become since weaker teams joined after 2018. Former BCCI official Saba Karim said it may be time to rethink the format and bring back separate tiers to maintain the quality of domestic cricket. (PC: X)
