CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News /Agencies/ Bhopal: New Delhi. Scoring a century in T20 international cricket is a major achievement for any batsman, but reaching 100 runs in fewer balls reflects the attacking nature of batting in this format. In men’s T20 international cricket, the world record for the fastest century is held by Estonia’s Sahil Chauhan. He completed his century in just 27 balls against Cyprus on June 17, 2024. India’s Abhishek Sharma, meanwhile, set the Indian record by scoring a 30-ball century against Afghanistan in September 2026.

Who is at No. 1? Estonia’s Sahil Chauhan set the men’s T20 international world record by completing his century in 27 balls against Cyprus on June 17, 2024. In that innings, he scored an unbeaten 144 off 41 balls and hit 18 sixes.
Abhishek Sharma sets Indian record: India’s Abhishek Sharma completed his century in 30 balls against Afghanistan in Delhi on September 17, 2026. He scored 108 runs off 34 balls, including nine fours and 11 sixes. With this performance, he became the fastest century-maker in T20 internationals among batsmen from a full-member nation. He also surpassed Rohit Sharma’s record of a 35-ball century for India.
It is worth noting that this list is for men’s T20 international matches. Records from the IPL or other domestic T20 tournaments are not included. Therefore, Chris Gayle’s 30-ball century in the IPL is not part of this list.
