Five batsmen scored centuries in the Hyderabad Cricket Association C-Division one-day league on Tuesday. Smarpit Verma hit 110 for Abhinav Colts, Shaik Rabbani made 104 for Nizam Cricket Club, Vaibhav Agarwal scored 107 for Vijaypuri Willowmen, and Arshad Khan struck 101 for Young Masters. Deccan Colts opener B Harish Raja narrowly missed a century, falling for 93.

The round produced several high scores. Young Masters posted 351 for nine, with Arshad Khan's century backed by Anas Ahmed's 87 and Mudassir Sadiq's 77. Sunshine scored 343 for seven, driven by Md Sofi's 81 and C Satish's 79. Among the bowlers, Jaidev Goud took five for six for Sagar XI, while Abdul Ahad took five for six for Red Hills and P Ruthvik Kumar took five for 39 for Mahbub College.
The C-Division league is Hyderabad Cricket Association's entry-level competition for clubs not in the top three tiers. The five centuries in a single round suggest depth in Hyderabad's grassroots cricket, a pipeline that has produced India internationals like VVS Laxman and Mohammed Siraj. The league runs across several weekends, and consistent performances here can earn players promotion to higher divisions or selection in HCA age-group teams. The next watch item is whether any of these centurions, Smarpit Verma, Shaik Rabbani, Vaibhav Agarwal or Arshad Khan, get picked for HCA's under-19 or district trials later this season.
