Shahzad reached the three-figure mark in only 49 deliveries, producing an exceptionally aggressive batting display in the first-class format.
His rapid scoring helped accelerate his team's innings and resulted in a new record for Pakistan's fastest first-class century by a batter.
Misbah-ul-Haq's Record Broken

Shahzad surpassed that mark by completing his century in 49 balls.
Aggressive Batting Display
First-class cricket is traditionally associated with longer innings and patient batting. Shahzad's ability to reach a century in just 49 deliveries therefore stands out as an exceptionally attacking performance.
His aggressive approach allowed him to score rapidly and put pressure on the opposition.
Rare Achievement in Pakistan Cricket
Fast centuries in first-class cricket are relatively uncommon, making Shahzad's achievement a notable moment in Pakistan's domestic cricket.
His 49-ball hundred now stands as the fastest first-class century by a Pakistani batter.
Conclusion
Mohammad Shahzad has created a new record in Pakistan first-class cricket by scoring a century in just 49 balls. His innings surpassed Misbah-ul-Haq's previous record for the fastest first-class hundred by a Pakistani batter.
