As another edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is approaching, the excitement among the fans is growing. The IPL is known for unleashing some of the finest performances over the years. As the players and teams gear up for another season of the IPL, let’s take a look at top five fastest hundreds in the IPL.
Chris Gayle holds the record for the fastest hundred in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The aggressive left-handed opener notched up a 30-ball 100 against Pune Warriors India while playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Bengaluru. Gayle went on to smash an unbeaten 175 off 66 eventually that included 17 maximums and 13 fours. RCB posted 263/5 in 20 overs and then restricted PWI for 133/9 in 20 overs to win the match by 130 runs.
Rajasthan Royals new recruit and India’s teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi joined the list in his very first season after he smashed a 35-ball hundred against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur. GT had posted 209/4 in 20 overs. Riding on a spectacular performance from Sooryavanshi, the Royals chased down the target within 16 overs. The left-handed aggressive batter smashed 101 off 38 while Yashasvi Jaiswal hit 70* off 40. The then acting skipper Riyan Parag scored an unbeaten 32 off 15 to see the side home.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Henrich Klaasen is the next in the tally. He completed a hundred in 37 balls and remained unbeaten at 105 off 39 as SRH against Kolkata Knight Riders as the side posted 278/3 in 20 overs. Travis Head also got 76 off 40. Later, the Knight Riders were bundled out for 168 as SRH won by 110 runs.
Yusuf Pathan made headlines back in 2010 when he smashed a hundred in 37 deliveries against Mumbai Indians. MI had handed a target of 213 in Mumbai. While Yusuf hit a brilliant hundred, he failed to take the team over the line as RR were restricted to 208/7 in 20 overs to lose the match by 4 runs.
David Miller struck a hundred in 38 balls for Kings XI Punjab and took his side home by 6 wickets while chasing a target of 191 against RCB in Mohali. The Bengaluru franchise had posted 190/3 after Gayle struck 61 off 33 while AB de Villiers remained unbeaten at 38 off 19. Later, Miller’s brilliant show with the bat handed KXIP a convincing win.
