Why the innings attracted attention

A century reached in 35 balls is the milestone highlighted in the Indian Express school-assembly roundup; the BCCI scorecard confirms the final innings total and balls faced. A century's speed and a player's total are different statistics: the first describes how quickly the player reached 100, while the second includes runs scored afterward.
