From former cricketers to commentators to fans, everyone showered praises on the young lad who took Kerala to a resounding victory. Mumbai team is known for its bowling attack in domestic cricket.
"Wah Azharudeen, behtareen! To score like that against Mumbai was some effort. 137* of 54 and finishing the job on hand. Enjoyed this innings," former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag said in a post.
"I had seen an extraordinary player called Mohd Azharuddin many years ago. Now I am seeing another by the same name. Wow, he can play some shots!" Harsha Bhogle's tweet reads.
Azharuddeen who has scored 137 runs in just 54 deliveries made two unique records. He became the first Kerala cricketer to score a ton in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Mohammed Azharuddeen smashed the second-fastest century in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy by scoring a century in 37 deliveries. Rishab Pant holds the record for the fastest century in the tournament who scored a ton in just 32 balls.
