Mumbai-based Puducherry native Aman Khan, a born all-rounder, played one of the innings of the 2026 Pondicherry Premier League tournament, hitting 129 in just 43 balls for Villanur Mohit Kings against Mahe Megalo Strikers at the Puducherry Cricket Association’s Seaham Ground.
The 29-year-old captain arrived at the finish line with his side in trouble at 55 for 2 in the eighth over before launching a thrilling counter-attack. He hit six fours and 15 sixes to complete his century in just 34 balls and ultimately finished with 129 at a strike rate of 300, leading Villanur Mohit Kings to 241 for 5.
Aman Khan beat Vaibhav Suryavanshi
This strike also earned Aman a place in the record books. His 34 ball centuries are now the second most by an Indian in the Indian T20 League, behind only Aman Rao Perala’s 32 centuries in the Telangana T20 League.
The innings has dropped Rajasthan Royals sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi to third and fourth place in the list after his 35-ball centuries in IPL 2025 and 36-ball hundreds in IPL 2026.

Still waiting for my IPL breakthrough
Despite his exploits in the domestic arena, Aman is yet to establish himself in the IPL. He played one match for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2022 and represented Delhi Capitals in 11 games the following season.
Chennai Super Kings signed the 29-year-old ahead of IPL 2026 but he spent the entire campaign on the sidelines. His latest heroics in the Pondicherry Premier League could bolster his chances of returning to the IPL next season.
