Achieving a hundred in the T20 format isn't easy task but Lokesh Rahul, who plays for India national cricket team joined the elite company with his maiden T20 hundred against West Indies on Saturday. West Indies’ Evin Lewis and India’s KL Rahul both scored their maiden T20I hundreds in fastest time.  Both were fast enough to make it into the list of 5 fastest centuries in Twenty20 format..! Here are the fastest five centuries in T20Is: 5. Chris Gayle vs South Africa, Brendon McCullum vs Australia and Babar Hayat vs Oman - 50 balls 4. Evin Lewis vs India - 48 balls 3. Chris Gayle vs England and Aaron Finch vs England - 47 balls 2. KL Rahul vs West Indies and Faf du Plessis vs West Indies - 46 balls 1. Richard Levi vs New Zealand - 45 balls

On 1- January-2014, New Zealand Left-handed batsman Corey Anderson has set a new record of hitting fastest century off just 36 balls in an ODI against West Indies. In 1996, Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi had made the record in just 37 balls. Now, Anderson has made the fastest ever international century with the help of 16 sixes. Though, it's fact that the grounds in New Zealand are shorter than others. Surely, IPL franchises will be looking to secure the services of 23-year-old hitter soon for the next campaign.
