The record for IPL’s fastest century is held by none other than The Universe Boss, Christopher Henry Gayle.
In a game against Pune Warriors India, on April 23, 2013, Chris Gayle embellished the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium by bringing up his century in just 30 balls. It’s a record that stands to this day.
Gayle went on to score an unbeaten 175 and helped the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) post 263-5 on the board, the highest total by a team in IPL history.
