Abhishek Sharma scored the fastest T20I century for India by reaching his hundred in just 30 balls against Afghanistan on 17 September 2026 in New Delhi. He surpassed Rohit Sharma’s previous Indian record of a 35-ball century, achieved against Sri Lanka in 2017. Abhishek’s explosive innings ended with 108 runs from 34 deliveries, including a large number of boundaries. His century was also the fastest T20I hundred by a player representing a Test-playing nation. Overall, only Sahil Chauhan and Muhammad Fahad had recorded faster T20I centuries, in 27 and 29 balls respectively.
