Cricket, with all its glorious uncertainties, once again produced a day for the history books. At the Tinsukia District Sports Association Ground, Services hammered Assam by eight wickets, rewriting a record that had stood untouched since 1962. The Ranji Trophy encounter was wrapped up in just 540 balls (90 overs) — the shortest-ever first-class match in Indian domestic cricket history.

The previous record belonged to a Delhi vs Railways fixture in 1962 that lasted 547 balls, a testament to how rare such a collapse is in the longest domestic format. But on a misty October weekend in Assam, Services' bowling attack, led by Arjun Sharma and Mohit Jangra, produced a demolition job that will be talked about for years.
