Whenever it comes to the fastest century in cricket, people often mention the centuries made on low balls, but very few people know which player is the record of scoring a century in the shortest time. This feat was done by England all -rounder Glenn Chappell. Chappell set such a record in the first class match in 1993, which is unwavering even after 32 years.
100 runs in 21 minutes
Chappell, who played for Lancashere, did this amazing against Glamogan on 15 July 1993. In the second innings, when Lancasters came out to play, Chappell was sent to start the innings. As soon as he stepped on the crease, he broke down on the bowlers. Chappell hit a century in just 21 minutes and 27 balls. In this innings, 10 fours and 9 sixes came out of his bat. If you talk about time, then it is the fastest century of first class cricket so far.
Broke old records
Earlier this feat was done by Tom Moody of Australia. Moody scored a century in just 26 minutes against Warvikshire in 1990, playing for Glamogan. Chappell created a new history by breaking this record of Moody.
Match condition
In the first innings, Lancashere scored 310 runs. In response, Glymargon declared the innings by scoring 303 runs. In this way, Lancashere got a lead of just 7 runs in the match. After this, Chapel’s explosive innings came. Due to him, Lancashire declared the innings by scoring 235 runs in only 12 overs. Glymargon had to score 243 runs to win, which he had achieved in just 52.1 overs. During this time his 3 wickets fell. Chappell’s stormy century did not work for the team, but this innings in cricket history was recorded forever.
Chapel career
Glenn Chappell’s domestic career was excellent, but luck did not support him in international cricket. In 2006, he made his ODI debut for England, but was injured in the same match. After throwing just four overs, he had to go out of the field and after that he never got a chance to wear the Jersey of the England team again.
Even after 32 years, this record of Chapel is maintained. Even in today’s fast cricket and T20, no player who scored a century came in such a short time. This is the reason why this innings for cricket fans is no less than any legend tales.
