The most prestigious league in the world’s batting order is difficult for players who have trouble with pace and spin variations. In Twenty20 cricket, scoring a century is a huge accomplishment. When a batsman scores 100 runs, his team typically scores more than 200 runs. And while few players have scored hundreds in fewer deliveries, it is still a feat to be proud of. The only player on the list of the Fastest Century in IPL is, however, what makes it the most intriguing. Let’s take a look at them.
Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle, a powerful West Indian opener, holds the record for the IPL’s quickest century. In just 30 balls, he completed the feat against Pune Warriors India in the 2013 IPL group stage match. Gayle hit 17 sixes and 13 fours in his most destructive innings. As a result of his 175* runs off just 66 balls, Royal Challengers Bangalore were able to score 263 runs for PWI. It is the highest score in the IPL by any team.
Yusuf Pathan
Yusuf Pathan, an IPL batsman from India, comes in second place for scoring the fastest century. In the first IPL season, Rajasthan Royals was chasing an enormous target of 213 runs when Pathan made 101 runs against Mumbai Indians in just 37 balls. but only fell behind by 5 runs. His mark stood for five years before Gayle overcame it in 2013.
David Miller
Southpaw proteas By scoring a century in just 38 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore, David Miller has joined the elite group of IPL players with the fastest centuries. Miller hit seven sixes and eight fours to surpass the 191-run goal set by RCB in this 2013 IPL knockout match. Miller demonstrated his talents to the world on that day.
Adam Gilchrist
It is not surprising that Adam Gilchrist, a former Australian wicket-keeper batsman, was given credit for the IPL’s quickest century. Gilchrist participated in the 2008 IPL for the Deccan Chargers. In 42 balls, he scored 109 runs, and the wicketkeeper-batsman defeated the powerful Mumbai Indians team and reached the century mark. His ruthless batting enabled the Deccan Chargers to reach 145 in just 12 overs. To reach this milestone, the Australian southpaw hit 10 sixes and 9 fours.
AB DE Villiers
AB DE Villiers, one of the most adored foreign players, has also earned a spot in this way. In the ninth IPL season, Mr. 360 batted a century against the Gujarat Lions in 43 balls (2016). The aggressive batsman scored 129 runs off 43 balls while hitting 12 sixes and 10 fours. With the same number of balls as De Villiers, Australian David Warner is also the fifth-fastest IPL century scorer.
