IPL 2017: Top 5 fastest centuries in IPL history

Clad in green and red against a hapless GL attack, De Villiers displayed just why he is called Mr.360

#4 Adam Gilchrist (42 balls) vs Mumbai Indians, 2008

Gilchrist’s century made his fans question his decision to retire in 2008

A small target of 154 runs was lapped up quickly when a just retired Adam Gilchrist, in the company of VVS Laxman, got going in his inimitable style. He struck boundaries off the duo of Shaun Pollock and Ashish Nehra to warm up. Dhawal Kulkarni came, and received the same treatment, and suddenly the trademark swivel-pull and rocket cover drive were churning out.

In Shaun Pollock’s second spell, Gilchrist took the aerial route, smacking the Proteas legend for consecutive sixes on the leg side. Dwayne Bravo also received similar treatment, and the chase suddenly turned into a cakewalk. Even Abhishek Nayar was tried, but it hardly made a difference.

Deccan Chargers completed the chase with an astonishing 48 balls to spare.
