who has scored the fastest century in t20
List of centuries in Twenty20 International cricket A century is a score of one hundred or more runs by a batsman in a single innings.[6] This is regarded as a notable achievement.[7] The first century in a T20I match was scored by Chris Gayle of the West Indies who made 117 against South Africa at the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in 2007.[8][9] South Africa won the match, one of only seven occurrences which did not result in a victory to the team with the player scoring the century.[10] The most recent century was scored by Martin Guptill of New Zealand against Australia during the 2017–18 Trans-Tasman Tri-Series.[11][12] New Zealand's Colin Munro leads the list with three T20I centuries, followed by his compatriots Guptill and Brendon McCullum, West Indians Gayle and Evin Lewis, India's Rohit Sharma and Glenn Maxwell of Australia with two each.[1] Lewis' first century came during the 2016 series against India at the Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Florida.[13] In reply, India's K. L. Rahul finished on 110 not out, the only occasion where two T20I centuries were scored in the same match.[14] Rahul's innings is one of the eight instances where a batsman scored a century in the second innings of a T20I match.[15] In August 2013, Australia's Aaron Finch posted the highest score in a T20I match with 156[16][17] while Rohit Sharma and David Miller of South Africa share the record for the fastest century, both reaching the milestone from 35 deliveries.[18][19][20] Miller was also the first player to score a T20I century batting at number five or lower.[21]

Twenty20 International The game had initially been developed to boost the interest in domestic cricket, and to aid this the international teams were only allowed to host three T20Is each year. The cricket manager for the ICC, David Richardson, also commented that "Part of the success of Twenty20 cricket is making sure it can coexist with Test cricket and one-dayers."[16] Despite this, the first international tournament was held in 2007 in South Africa; the 2007 ICC World Twenty20.[16] That tournament was won by India, who defeated their close rivals Pakistan in the final. Writing for The Guardian, Dilip Premachandran suggested that the competition's success meant that "the format is here to stay".[17] The next tournament was scheduled for 2009, and it was decided that they would take place biannually (more frequently than the 50 over Cricket World Cup, which occurs once every four years).[18] In the opening match of the 2007 World Twenty20, Chris Gayle scored the first century in a T20I, the achievement being reached in the twentieth match of the format.[19]
Shahid Afridi In October 1996 at age 16, Afridi was drafted into the ODI team during the four-nation Sameer Cup 1996–97 as a leg spinner as a replacement for the injured Mushtaq Ahmed.[20][21] He made his debut on 2 October against Kenya; however, he didn't bat and went wicketless.[22] In the next match against Sri Lanka, Afridi batted at number three in the role of a pinch-hitter. In his first international innings, Afridi broke the record for fastest century in ODI cricket, reaching his hundred from 37 balls. The eleven sixes he struck also equaled the record for most in an ODI innings.[23][nb 1] Aged 16 years and 217 days, Afridi became the youngest player to score an ODI century.[25] Pakistan posted a total of 371, at the time the second-highest in ODIs, and won by 82 runs; Afridi was named man of the match.[23] The record for fastest century in ODI was broken by New Zealand cricketer Corey Anderson on 1 January 2014 who hit 131* runs from 36 balls and is now held by South-African cricketer AB de Villiers who made a century from 31 balls on 18 January 2015 against West Indies.[26]
