Fastest Centuries in T20

Fastest Centuries in T20 is the ultimate barometer of a batter's destructive efficiency, representing the ability to reach the 100-run milestone in the shortest possible window. In a 120-ball format, a sub-40-ball century signifies a performance where nearly every delivery is converted into a boundary.
As of 2026, the T20 International (T20I) record is held by Namibia’s Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, who reached his hundred in just 33 balls against Nepal in 2024. In the all-time global T20 circuit, the legendary Chris Gayle still holds the absolute peak with his 30-ball century in the 2013 IPL. While modern power-hitting has made 40-ball centuries more frequent, breaking the 35-ball barrier remains a rare feat that requires a "perfect storm" of raw power and flawless timing. This statistic serves as the gold standard for "match-winning impact," showcasing a single player's capacity to render the opposition's bowling strategy entirely obsolete in less than six overs of facing.
