Fastest Hundreds in IPL : The IPL has long been a platform for explosive batting and jaw-dropping milestones, but every now and then, someone steps up and redefines “fast.” That’s exactly what Priyansh Arya did in PBKS’ 2025 clash against Chennai Super Kings, smashing a 39-ball century that left the cricketing world stunned.

The 24-year-old from Delhi, picked up by Punjab Kings for ₹3.8 crore, lit up Mullanpur with a brutal display of power-hitting, taking on legends like R. Ashwin and Matheesha Pathirana with fearless intent. What began with a first-ball six turned into a rampage — Arya raced to a 19-ball fifty before accelerating even harder to bring up his maiden IPL hundred in just 39 balls.

With that knock, Priyansh Arya joins an elite club of IPL stars who’ve hammered the fastest centuries in the league’s glittering history.
