Tue Feb 04 10:28:42 UTC 2025: ## Indian-Origin Cricketer Sahil Chauhan Holds World Record for Fastest T20I Century
**Mumbai, India** – While Abhishek Sharma’s recent 37-ball century against England in Mumbai has garnered significant attention, a lesser-known player holds the world record for the fastest T20 International century. Sahil Chauhan, an Indian-origin cricketer, achieved this feat in June 2024, smashing a century off just 27 balls while playing for Estonia against Cyprus.
Chauhan’s whirlwind innings, which included 18 sixes and 6 fours for a staggering strike rate of 351.21, remains officially recognized by the ICC as a T20I match, despite the smaller-scale nature of the game. In total he scored 144 runs from 41 balls, making history by reaching his century solely through sixes.
The remarkable achievement, achieved in a match played on June 17th, 2024, between Estonia and Cyprus, overshadows other recent fast centuries. While Sharma’s performance is impressive, Chauhan’s record remains unbeaten. A rising star in European cricket, Chauhan consistently maintains a strike rate exceeding 200.
