Suryakumar Yadav and 2 others who scored fast T20I 100s in 2022

2022 witnessed some of the best cricket being played, mainly because of the Asia Cup 2022 and the recently concluded 20-20 World Cup 2022. There were moments that broke the hearts of the fans and there were moments to cherish from the game as well. 

With 2022 just days away from reaching its end, we decided to handpick the three fastest centuries from players of Test-playing nations in the shortest format of the game. As one could expect, the list does feature India’s superstar Suryakumar Yadav. 

Here are the three fastest centuries in T20Is in 2022: 

3) Suryakumar Yadav  – 49 balls

Suryakumar is fast becoming India’s trusted batter in the white-ball format and it remains to be seen if the multi-talented batter would make it count in the longest format of the game, given that he is yet to get an opportunity in Tests. However, the unorthodox batter proved his prowess in the T20I format in 2022 and eventually went on to make over 1000 runs in total. 

Suryakumar scored a century against New Zealand in the 2nd T20I of the three-match series on November 20, which India played post the conclusion of the 20-20 World Cup 2022. The right-handed batter brought up his century off just 49 balls, eventually recording the third-fastest century in T20Is in the ongoing year and it was India who won the match by 65 runs.
