| Top 3 Fastest Century in IPl | |||||
| Rank | Player Name (Team) | Total Runs | Balls Faced To Reach 100 | Against | Match Date |

| 2 | Yusuf Pathan (RR) | 100 | 37 | MI | 13 March 2010 |
| 3 | David Miller (PBKS) | 101 | 38 | RCB | 06 May 2013 |
Chris Gayle holds the remarkable record for the fastest century in IPL. On April 23, 2013, at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in history, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star achieved this milestone faster than any other player in the Indian Premier League. During an explosive match against Pune Warriors India (PWI), Gayle struck 175 runs off 66 deliveries, leading RCB to 263/5. His innings featured a staggering 17 sixes and 13 fours, with his century coming in only 30 balls. This extraordinary performance secured the victory and cemented Gayle’s status as a dominant force in the IPL.
In second place on this prestigious list is Yusuf Pathan, an all-rounder known for his strength. Playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at Brabourne Stadium on March 13, 2010, Pathan made history by scoring a century in just 37 balls. This achievement set a record for Indian bowlers and showcased his explosive batting prowess. Although Pathan’s remarkable performance stood out, KKR ultimately fell short in the match, highlighting the competitive nature of the Indian Premier League.
David Miller, the South African batting prodigy, ranks third among the fastest century scorers in the IPL. In 2013, Miller scored 101 runs off just 38 balls in a match between Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore. This innings marked the highest score of his career. They played a pivotal role in Punjab’s triumph, as they chased down RCB’s target of 191 runs with six wickets remaining in just 18 overs. Miller’s exceptional skills were crucial to his team’s victory.
Adam Gilchrist, a veteran player for the Deccan Chargers, made a memorable impact during the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League. In a match against the Mumbai Indians, he scored a century in 42 balls while chasing a target of 155 runs. Gilchrist’s explosive innings led his team to a commanding victory by 10 wickets in just 12 overs, leaving fans wondering what might happen if a player were to score the fastest century in the IPL.
AB de Villiers and David Warner have showcased their consistency by scoring centuries in 43 balls, earning them a tie for sixth place on the fastest centuries list. De Villiers achieved a remarkable 129 runs off 52 balls against the Gujarat Lions in the 2016 IPL, while Warner scored 126 runs off 59 balls for the Sunrisers Hyderabad against the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017, leading his team to victory. Their sustained success demonstrates the vibrancy and competitiveness of the league, with many fans regarding AB de Villiers as the true “Baap” of IPL.
In the context of the Indian Premier League, these fastest centuries not only showcase individual talent but also significantly influence match outcomes. These enduring records, etched in cricket history, reflect players’ strength, precision, and strategy when facing the ball.
Manish Pandey marked a significant milestone as the first Indian player to score a century in the Indian Premier League in 2009. Playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Pandey, who had not yet been capped at the international level, scored 114 runs off 73 balls without being dismissed, setting a precedent for Indian batters in the league.
