Top 10 Players With Fastest Centuries In PSL History (2026 Updated!)

The Pakistan Super League was a title of aggressive batting, but even by PSL standards, some innings felt unreal. Few batsmen have reached three figures before the bowlers have settled into their magic.

The fastest centuries in PSL history are not just records. They are a reminder of how quickly matches can spiral out of control when talent, timing and fearless technique collide in the bowling department.

Top 10 Players With Fastest Centuries In PSL History

1. Usman Khan (Multan Sultans) – 36 Balls

Usman Khan scored the fastest century in PSL history in 36 balls against Quetta Gladiators on 11 March 2023, breaking the record set by teammate Riley Rossouw in less than 24 hours and helping Multan Sultans set a record. Khan scored 120 runs in 43 balls with 12 fours and nine sixes at a strike rate of 279.1 before being dismissed by Gladiators captain Mohammad Nawaz.

After the innings, Khan said that he never dreamed of scoring a century in 36 balls in T20 cricket and it just happened in the flow of his natural game. No player has been able to equal this record since. No one in the history of PSL has come close to the 36-ball benchmark.

2. Rilee Rossouw (Multan Sultans) – 41 Balls

On 10 March 2023, against Peshawar Zalmi, Raleigh Rossouw needed 41 balls to complete his century. Rossouw broke his own record by scoring a century off 43 balls for Multan Sultans against Quetta Gladiators in 2020.

He completed his half-century in just 17 balls, which is the joint-fastest half-century by any batsman in PSL history. Rossouw’s score of 121 runs while chasing the record is the third-highest individual score in PSL history. His record lasted less than a day, before it was snatched away by his own teammate.

3. James Vince (Karachi Kings) – 42 Balls

England’s T20 veteran James Vince unleashed a blistering attack on the Multan Sultans’ bowlers in PSL 2025 on 12 April 2025.

4. Rilee Rossouw (Multan Sultans) – 43 Balls

Riley Rossouw’s 43-ball century against Quetta Gladiators on 29 February 2020 was the fastest in PSL history at the time and also the first century scored by a Multan Sultans batsman in PSL.

Batting at number five for Multan Sultans, his sixes helped his team reach 199 for 5 in 20 overs, when Multan was at 48 for 3 at one point. He won the Player of the Match award for his match-winning effort. He came to bat with an innings under pressure and left the opposition bowlers struggling to find a solution.

5. Jason Roy (Quetta Gladiators) – 44 Balls

Jason Roy’s unbeaten 145 against Peshawar Zalmi on 8 March 2023 is the highest individual score in the Pakistan Super League. His century came off 44 balls, part of a brilliant innings that set a new PSL record.
