⚡ Tim David Rewrites Record Books
Tim David’s 102 not out off just 37 balls etched his name into cricket history, breaking the previous Australian record for the fastest T20I century held by Josh Inglis, who took 43 balls to reach his hundred against Scotland in 2024.
David was in beast mode from ball one, unleashing 11 massive sixes and six crisp boundaries in his career-best international knock. His sensational innings came under pressure, as Australia had stumbled to 61/3 in under six overs chasing a mammoth 215.
“This is unreal,” David said after the match. “I never imagined getting a hundred for Australia in T20Is. I just wanted to back my strengths—short boundaries, good pitch, and experience here with CPL really helped.”
🔥 Records Tumbled
David’s ton is now:
- Fastest by an Australian in T20 Internationals
- Joint third-fastest among full ICC member nations
- Tied with Abhishek Sharma (India vs England, 2025)
- Only behind David Miller (35 balls, SA vs BAN, 2017) and Rohit Sharma (35 balls, IND vs SL, 2017) among Full Members
- The overall T20I record remains with Sahil Chauhan (27-ball hundred for Estonia vs Cyprus, 2024)
💬 Reactions: “No Words for That Innings”
Australian captain Mitchell Marsh was full of praise:
“There are no words for that innings from David. It was one of the most destructive performances I’ve seen. He took the game away in minutes.”
Even the opposition was in awe as David turned what looked like a tight contest into a one-sided finish with power, poise, and precision.
