century 175* in just 30 balls against the Pune Warrior Indians, PWI. It is the highest-ever individual score in a
T20 game by an individual surpassing KKR' Brendon McCullum who hit 158
off 73 balls against RCB in IPL-1 at this very ground, Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The record for scoring fastest century in 50-over cricket is held by Shahid Afridi' who scored 37-ball ton for Pakistan

whacked England for a 56-ball 100 in Antigua back in 1986.
