[http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/f/23/f23912.html] . At the time it was believed to be the fastest hundred in Indian cricket, but a 60 minute hundred by Ken Goldie [http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/9/9485.html] in 1915-16 and a 40 minute one by Ahsan-ul-Haq [http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/11/11053.html] in 1923-24 have been discovered since then. His highest first class score was 227 for Delhi against Patiala in 1957/58.
