India’s future star and Delhi wicketkeeper Rishab Pant smashed his second fastest T-20 century by scoring 116 off 38 deliveries against Himachal Pradesh in a North Zone T20 League (Syed Mustaq Ali Trophy) fixture leading his team to a crushing 10-wicket victory on Sunday.
Chasing a target of 144 set by Himachal, Pant got to the triple-figure mark in just 32 deliveries – the second fastest in T20 history – and along with Gautam Gambhir chased down the target in just 11.4 overs.
West Indian Chris Gayle still holds the record for the fastest century in the format when he clubbed 100 off just 30 deliveries against Pune Warriors in an Indian Premier League match back in 2013.
During his innings, Pant hammered 12 sixes and eight fours and also added his tally of four catches behind the stumps earlier in the match.
