Meet Kiran Navgire - India women's batter scores fastest women's T20 hundred off 34 balls | WATCH

India women's player Kiran Navgire has smashed the record of fastest hundred in all women's T20s. Navgire, who is not part of India's squad in ongoing Women's World Cup 2025, scored a 34-ball hundred during her innings for 35-ball 106 not out during a domestic Women's T20 match between Maharashtra and Punjab on Friday (Oct 17). She eclipsed New Zealand veteran Sophie Devine's record of 36-ball hundred which had also came in a domestic match in NZ in January 2021 when Devine scored 38-ball 108 not out. With her 34-ball ton, Navgire also broke Rohit Sharma's record of 35-ball hundred for India in T20Is.

Who is Kiran Navagire?

Navagire hails from Mire in Maharshtra's Solapur district and first rose to prominence in 2022 during the Women's T20 trophy where she smashed 35 sixes for Nagaland. She's also the first Indian woman to score 150-plus score in T20 match during her 76-ball 162 innings. He performance got her a call up to India's T20I side in 2022 when she made her debut against England.

The 31-year-old, however, hasn't been able to find a place in the national team since October 2022. Her performance of 17 runs off 19 balls in four innings of six WT20Is played has also not helped her case. In WPL, she plays for UP Warriorz where she has featured in 25 matches and scored 419 runs at a strike rate of 140 but a paltry average of just 17.45
