Yusuf Pathan, who performed this feat in 37 balls against MI in Mumbai in 2010, comes after him. When David Miller was playing against the Royals in Mohali in 2013, he accomplished this feat in 38 balls. Travis Head’s century in 39 balls in 2024 damaged the RCB bowling attack. Adam Gilchrist, who made a century in just 42 deliveries against the Mumbai Indians in 2008, is the one holding the fifth position.
Fastest team 200 in the IPL: SRH broke a number of records, including the fastest team 200 in the IPL. The fastest team to reach 200 runs was RCB, who accomplished it in 14.1 overs in a 2016 Bengaluru match against PBKS. It was a 15-over match, though.

In 2016, the RCB batsmen replicated their feat in Bengaluru, where they struck twenty sixes against the Gujarat Lions (GL).
