The Fastest Centuries in IPL History
The Indian Premier League completely altered perspectives on T20 batting. Once upon a time, scoring a hundred runs in T20 cricket (which is only 20 overs) was almost unheard of, but these days it has become so common that the batter actually thinks about beating the clock.
Many players have blown away both the fans and bowlers through their amazing displays of power hitting. Here's a list of the best hitters of all time and their fastest hundred scored during the IPL talent.
The Undisputed King: Chris Gayle's 30-Ball Masterpiece
It's been more than a decade since, and Chris Gayle's innings of 2013 is still there to be conquered. Batting for RCB against Pune Warriors, Universe Boss reached his century in just 30 deliveries and went on to score 175 runs, which is also the highest individual score in the league.
The New Sensation: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s Double Record
Though Gayle held the number one position for a long time, the young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been the most talked about since the last two seasons of the tournament. Representing Rajasthan Royals, the young genius amazed all with a stunning 35-ball ton against Gujarat Titans in 2025.
He demonstrated that it was not a mere flash in the pan by again showing his brilliant batting with a 36-ball century against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2026 season. At present, he is the strongest contender to Gayle's illustrious title.
Elite Power Hitters in the Top Five
The quick-century category also boasts another Mumbai Indians (MI) victim of the 2010s who had their 37-ball century crushed by Yusuf Pathan, and in 2025 Heinrich Klaasen matched that same MI record when he hammered 37 runs off KKR. Last but not least, David Miller and Travis Head both have added themselves to this special club because of their abilities to play an extremely aggressive style of batting.
