Tim David's century places him among an exclusive group of batsmen who have scored the fastest T20I hundreds against Test-playing nations. His incredible feat stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the most destructive hitters in the game.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma holds the joint record for the fastest T20I century against a Test-playing nation, reaching his hundred in just 35 balls. Known for his elegant yet destructive style, Sharma's innings often set the tone for India's dominance in the shortest format. He made it against Sri Lanka in 2017.
South African powerhouse David Miller also shares the record for the fastest T20I century against a Test-playing nation, achieving it in a mere 35 deliveries. Miller's ability to clear the ropes with ease makes him one of the most feared finishers in T20 cricket. He made it against Bangladesh.
Young Indian talent Abhishek Sharma showcased his immense potential by scoring a T20I century in just 37 balls. His aggressive approach and fearless strokeplay mark him as an exciting prospect for the future of Indian cricket. He did it against England.
Tim David's sensational 37-ball century against West Indies has firmly cemented his place in the record books. His innings was a masterclass in clean hitting, demonstrating his growing prowess as a formidable force in international T20 cricket.
"I’ve spent a lot of time working on power hitting, but now I’m working on my shot selection. I’ve been carrying that Dre Russ bat around for a year, and it felt like it was the best time to use it," David said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
“Was just having a great time in the middle playing for Australia. It was nice to have a period at home and get my body right. I didn’t think I would get the opportunity to get a hundred for Australia, so I’m stoked,” David added.
