Fastest Hundred In Minutes: Most of the cricket fans would know about the record of century on the fewest balls, but who has scored a century in the shortest time? Very few people will have the answer to this. Many people might not even believe that such a feat has even happened in cricket. The feat of scoring a century in the shortest time in first-class cricket was done by Glenn Chappell in the year 1993, who has played with legends like Andrew Strauss and Andrew Flintoff. Chappell had scored a century on 27 balls in just 21 minutes against the Glamorgan team. This was the record for the shortest century in first class cricket at that time, which still stands today. However, looking at modern day cricket, it seems that this record can be broken in the coming days.
When did Glenn Chappell make the record?
In the year 1993, a four-day match was played between the teams of Lancashire and Glamorgan between 15 and 19 July. Glen Chappell’s team Lancashire scored 310 runs while batting first in the match. In response, Glamorgan surprised everyone by declaring the innings at 303 runs. Lancashire, which took a lead of just 7 runs in the first innings, showed an amazing performance in the second innings. He sent his all-rounder Glen Chappell to start the innings and Chappell scored a century in just 21 minutes. Glenn Chappell completed his century on the 27th ball, which included 10 fours and 9 sixes. Before Glenn Chappell, the record for scoring a century in the shortest time was in the name of Australia’s Tom Moody. Tom Moody, playing for Glamorgan, scored a century in just 26 minutes against Warwickshire in 1990.
How was Chappell’s international career?
Glen Chappell’s international career was not very good. Glenn Chappell got injured in the same ODI match in which he made his debut for England in 2006. Due to this, Chappell had to leave the field after bowling 4 overs. Chappell did not get a second chance after this and his career ended not just in one match but in less than half a match.
