A dazzling display of batting from Josh Inglis
Asked to bat first, the Aussie side lost their opener Matthew Short cheaply, but Inglis showcased impressive skills and spearheaded Australia’s innings from there, ultimately notching up a sensational century off 47 deliveries that saw him equal the record for the fastest T20I hundred by an Australian, previously held by Aaron Finch.
The numbers tell the tale
Inglis’s innings of 110 off just 50 balls comprised an impressive 11 fours and eight sixes, leaving Indian bowlers helpless as he dispatched deliveries to all corners of the ground. This maiden T20I ton shattered multiple records, placing Inglis among the elite in the world of T20 cricket.
Despite Inglis’s onslaught, Indian bowlers Prasidh Krishna and Ravi Bishnoi managed to make a mark by claiming wickets. Nevertheless, Australia still went on to set a total of 208/3 in the allotted 20 overs.

Record-breaking statistics
The explosive innings by Inglis not only secured his position among the fastest T20I centurions for Australia but also placed him second on the list of fastest centuries against India, just behind David Miller (46 balls). Additionally, his score of 110 became the fourth-highest individual score against India in the shortest format.
It did not stop here, as Inglis’s eight sixes during his innings propelled him into the exclusive club of Australian batters with the most sixes in a T20I innings. This accomplishment helped him join the company of legendary Australian cricketers like Finch and Glenn Maxwell.
Fans laud Josh Inglis’ masterclass
The record-shattering ton from Inglis garnered huge praise from cricket fans worldwide, and they couldn’t help but shower him with appreciation messages. Social media platforms buzzed with excitement as fans lauded Inglis for his breathtaking performance.
