Namibia’s Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton has struck the fastest T20 international century in history with a 33-ball hundred against Nepal.
The 22-year-old eclipsed the 34-ball ton Nepal’s Kushal Malla smashed against Mongolia in September 2023.
Loftie-Eaton made 101 from 36 balls in Kirtipur on Tuesday, hitting eight sixes and 11 fours in a game Namibia won by 20 runs.
Loftie-Eaton’s knock helped the African side to 206-4 from their 20 overs – Malan Kruger chipped in with 59 from 48 balls – before he bagged two wickets as Nepal were dismissed for 186.
Chris Gayle holds the record for the fastest hundred in all T20 cricket with a 30-ball ton for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors in Bengaluru during the 2013 Indian Premier League.
Rishabh Pant, currently recovering from the effects of a serious car crash in late 2022, scored a 32-ball century for Delhi against Himachal Pradesh in an Indian T20 match in 2018.
