Fastest Centuries in T20 International (Full List): Miller, Levi, Faf du Plessis on Top 3
Posted By: Editorial Staff | January 20, 2019Cricket has been changing rapidly and the sole reason behind is to enhance the entertainment and fun in the gentleman’s game. And when it is about this, entire nothing can take place the raining sixes and fours or quick falling wickets. In short, T20 cricket is the ultimate answer to the rapid-changing cricket. Although, over years this format of the game is associated with the batsman’s game but knuckleballs and those coming with variations are turning some real headache for the T20 specialist batsmen, who are always looking to fly one away from the boundary line.
The latest to join the clan of ‘Fastest Centuries in T20 International’ clan is the South African star, David Miller. With his 35-ball century against Bangladesh in T20I of the series, Miller got himself on the top spot after leaving behind his teammate Richard Levi. It will be pertinent t mention here that it took over 5-years to witness a change over the top on the list of Fastest Centuries in T20 International. The South African batsman, Richard Levi, who later went on signing the Kolpak deal, smashed 45-ball century against New Zealand, back in 2012.
Those who are thinking where the power hitters like Finch, Gayle and Maxwell fall; here we have the full list of Fastest Centuries in T20 International.
