Fastest T20I Century: 25th January, Sunday, when Abhishek Sharma hit fifty in 14 balls. This is the second fastest half-century for India in international T20 cricket. In the third T20 match, New Zealand had set a target of 154 runs for India. Abhishek created a lot of ruckus with the bat, as if the New Zealand fielders were standing in the field only to bring the ball back from across the boundary. If he had got 10 more balls, Abhishek Sharma would have set a world record.
Just 10 more balls…
Abhishek Sharma had scored 68 runs playing 20 balls in the third T20 match. He was scoring an average of 3.4 runs on each ball. If we understand its complete mathematics then Abhishek would have completed his century on the 30th ball of his innings. If Abhishek had completed his century in 30 balls, he would have made the world record for scoring the fastest century in the history of international T20 cricket. Currently, the record for the fastest century among ICC full member countries is in the name of Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza, who scored a century in 33 balls against Gambia in the year 2024.
becomes the fastest century
If Abhishek Sharma had completed his century in 30 balls while maintaining his rhythm, it would have been the fastest century in cricket history in all three formats (ICC Full Member Country). The fastest century in ODI cricket is in the name of AB de Villiers, who completed 100 runs in 31 balls against West Indies in 2015. The fastest century in the Test format was scored by Brendon McCullum. He scored a century in 54 balls in the Test against Australia.
Abhishek Sharma has completed more than one thousand runs in his T20 career. He remains in the news especially because of his stormy strike rate. Currently his total strike rate in his entire career is more than 195.
