New Delhi:
Sahil Chauhan made history Records are meant to be broken, but when they are broken, one doesn’t quite believe it, but now the truth is that West Indies batsman Chris Gayle in the T20 format in 2013 (Chris Gayle’s record broken) recorded the record for fastest century (fastest T20 century) was disbanded on Monday. When the record was also broken, not one but two major pieces of history were made. And the record-breaker was Indian-origin Sahil Chauhan, who created two big history-making innings for Estonia against hosts Cyprus in Episkopi.

Sahil’s turbulent century
Sahil Chauhan hit the Cypriot bowlers in such a way that it shook the team. Sahil came on the field and attacked with all his might and scored a blistering century in just 27 balls and became the fastest century in T20 history. Earlier, Chris Gayle achieved this feat while playing for RCB in IPL against Pune Warriors in Bengaluru in 2013.
This feat of Gayle has also been equaled
Another history Sahil created with this innings was equaling the record for most sixes in an innings. Sahil hit 18 sixes in an unbeaten innings of 141 runs against the Cypriot bowlers. He was one six away from breaking Gayle’s record. Windies batsman Gayle hit 18 sixes in an unbeaten innings of 146 against the Dynamites in Mirpur in 2017 while playing for Rangpur.
