T20 cricket is all about entertainment. It is the high-octane action, nerve-wracking climax, and roller coaster ride of a T20 game that makes this format so popular among fans. A lot of the credit for the thrilling action in a T20 game goes to the batters who grace this format with their hard-hitting prowess. In this article, we will take a look at the top 3 fastest centuries in T20 cricket by Indians.
Top 3 fastest centuries in T20 cricket by Indians:
Rohit Sharma – 118 (43 balls)
The fastest century by an Indian in T20 cricket was made by the Indian captain Rohit Sharma against Sri Lanka. He played this knock in a T20 series in 2018. The Indian team batted first and posted a massive total of 260 runs courtesy of a thunderous century from Rohit Sharma. Rohit completed his century in just 35 deliveries which was the joint fastest century in T20 cricket at the time. His innings guided India to a thumping victory by a huge margin of 88 runs.
Suryakumar Yadav – 112* (51 balls)
The middle-order batsman from Mumbai is arguably the best T20 batter for India currently. He comes second on this list following his captain. Suryakumar Yadav also scored his fastest century against the same opposition, Sri Lanka, at Rajkot. At the top, Shubman Gill and Rahul Tripathi accelerated in the powerplay and then Suryakumar Yadav carried on the momentum with his unparalleled talent of taking on the bowlers at will. He made his century in just 45 deliveries helping India to score 228 runs in the first innings. In the end, India won the match by 91 runs.
KL Rahul – 110 (51 balls)
KL Rahul follows Suryakumar Yadav in this list with an impactful century which came in a run chase unlike the previous two. The Men in Blue were chasing a humongous target of 246 runs and needed a quickfire reply in order to win the match. Rohit Sharma played a fantastic knock to give India a great start which was followed by a blitzkrieg from KL Rahul. He scored a century off 46 balls to keep India in the contest. Unfortunately, India eventually lost the match but only by a run.
