Australia’s Travis Head smashed the fourth fastest century in the history of the Indian Premier League when he reached the milestone in just 39 balls against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday, April 15. 


Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Head hit nine fours and eight sixes in his 41-ball innings before he was caught by Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis off the bowling of Lockie Ferguson.


Chris Gayle has the record for the fastest IPL hundred, which came in just 30 balls at this very ground in 2013 against the Pune Warriors India.  The second fastest century in IPL’s history is in the name of Yusuf Pathan who hit a 37-ball hundred against Mumbai Indians in 2010. Third on the list is David Miller with his 38-ball hundred against Royal Challengers Bangalore at Mohali in 2013.
