10 fastest centuries in Test cricket

#3 Misbah-ul-Haq- 56 balls

Misbah-ul-Haq

Misbah-ul-Haq's ability to hit massive sixes is well-known but he used this skill economically and most of the time, was content with batting defensively. His slow batting-style gave him the nickname 'tuk-tuk' but in 2014, he decided to show the world his hitting abilities.

In the second Test against Australia at Abu Dhabi, Pakistan was 461 runs ahead when Misbah came to bat in the second innings. He had already slammed a hundred in the first innings and was in the middle just to score some quick runs before the declaration.

The Aussie bowling attack which was already tired had nothing in the store to stop Misbah who made the most of the situation by scoring a 100 off just 56 balls..

Misbah played his favorite heaves on the leg-slide and was bold enough to step down the pitch when the opportunity arrived.

The right-hand batsman's quick hundred sealed Pakistan's victory and it also created a new identity for Misbah.
