Fastest Century in IPL history [Full List]

A T20 match is only 20 overs long, hence the name T20. Batsmen have to make the most out of it and therefore they try to score runs pretty quickly. In doing so, some get out cheaply and some stand their ground and smash the ball out of the park. Here is the list of the fastest hundreds in IPL and at the top of the list we have the fastest century in IPL history.

Chris Gayle Storm: Fastest Century in IPL History

On 23rd April 2013, the world witnessed the Gayle Storm. On this day, Chris Gayle became the batsman with not only the fastest century in IPL but the fastest century in T20 cricket as well. His record is yet to be broken after almost 10 years. Gayle smashed the Pune Bowlers left and right to register the fastest hundred in IPL. Gayle finished his inning with 175* off 66 balls. His innings constituted an astounding 13 fours and 17 sixes. His strike rate was 265.15. Gayle’s inning helped RCB post the highest score in IPL history.

“A special day, not only for me but for the fans as well. When I hear so many stories about that particular day, it was like the world stopped. It was like when Usain Bolt ran that 100m and everything stood still. I am glad to be a part of history. Scoring 100 off 30 balls,” Chris Gayle said in an interview.

“If you dominate their best fast bowler, those to come are shaking in their pants. I like to capitalize on that because if I take down the main bowler, you have this guy or this guy coming after. It’s not gonna work all the time but that’s my kind of mentality. I came across some great fast bowlers in my international career up until my last World Cup,” Gayle added.

“It was fantastic, man. I win most battles against fast bowlers. I am the king; I am the winner. Any fast bowler objects to that, come see me. We can sit one-on-one, we can go into the ring and punch it out or we can have a talk. One winner. Every single fast bowler, I have had a piece of them,” he added.
