Fastest Century in IPL History
Scoring a century in the shortest format of cricket is a big achievement, and only a few big names can pull it off. In the IPL, from 2008 to 2024, many players have scored centuries. Some did it to set personal records, some did it for their team, and others played crucial roles. However, despite scoring centuries, they couldn’t always turn it into a win.
Chris Gayle holds the record for the fastest 100 in IPL, scoring in 2013 while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors India. It’s been 11 years, and his record still stands unbroken. Last year, Travis Head gave it his best shot but couldn’t break it. This list starts with Chris Gayle and includes many other big names, so let’s look at the fastest 100 in IPL below.
