Yusuf Pathan's fastest Century in DLF IPLT20 iii 2010

Yusuf Pathan has equalled the record for the fastest ton in tournament history with a whirlwind 37-ball hundred playing for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.

Pathan clubbed nine fours and eight sixes before being run out for exactly 100 in the Royals' run chase of the Mumbai Indians' 6 for 212.

The Indian international's innings equalled Shahid Afridi's 37-ball ton against Sri Lanka in 1996.

Coming to the crease at 4 for 66 in the 10th over, Pathan raced to a half century in 21 balls with two fours and six sixes.

Pathan was unfortunately run out at the non-striker's end the first ball of the next over after taking his side to 5 for 173.

The Royals ended up losing the match by four runs.
