Test cricket is usually played very patiently and with long batting, but some players can score centuries very fast. These players show that even in long matches, hitting runs quickly can change the game.

[ Poll: 1wVMEqZl ]

Brendon McCullum achieved the record for the fastest Test century, where he took just 54 deliveries to score 100 runs in Christchurch in 2016, while recently, Travis Head scored a century in just 69 balls in the 2025 Ashes Test at Perth, and Australia took control of the match.

In this article, we'll list the 20 fastest centuries in Test cricket, and then highlight the top 10 innings that turned the perception of scoring quickly in Test matches on its head.
