The Pakistan Super League (PSL), a true Pakistani T20 extravaganza, has consistently delivered moments of sheer batting carnage over the past 10 years. Among its most electrifying spectacles are some thunderous centuries at a breakneck pace, where raw power and fearless stroke-play have converged to redefine the limits of modern T20 batting.
Here, we take a look at some of the batters with fastest centuries to their names in PSL matches.
7. Harry Brook and Kusal Mendis – 48 balls each
Harry Brook hammered down an unbeaten century from just 48 balls against Islamabad United back during match 27 of the PSL 2022 season in Lahore.

Hasan Nawaz notched up a 45-ball century for the Quetta Gladiators against Islamabad United in match 29 of the PSL 2025 season. The hard-hitting right-handed batter smeared four boundaries and nine huge sixes in Rawalpindi, as the Gladiators mounted a record PSL total of 263-3 in 20 overs.
5. Jason Roy and Rilee Rossouw – 44 balls each
Notably, in the innings where Hasan Nawaz cracked a 45-ball hundred, another Quetta Gladiators batter bludgeoned a thunderous century. Rilee Rossouw, batting at number three, made 104 off just 46 balls, and raced to his hundred from just 44 balls with 14 fours and six sixes against the Islamabad United.
Back in PSL 2023, former England opener Jason Roy also belted a 44-ball century, albeit for the Quetta Gladiators against Peshawar Zalmi in Rawalpindi. Chasing 241 runs for a win, Roy racked up 145* runs in all from just 63 deliveries as the Gladiators made lightwork of Zalmi’s record total.
4. Rilee Rossouw – 43 balls
Rilee Rossouw also hammered a 43-ball century back during match 12 of the PSL 2020 season.

He also won the ‘Player of the Match’ award for his match-winning effort.
3. James Vince – 42 balls
England’s T20 veteran James Vince flayed Multan Sultans bowlers with a scorching 43-ball 101 in match three of the PSL 2025 season.

2. Rilee Rossouw – 41 balls
Rilee Rossouw holds a unique distinction of unleashing three PSL centuries in less than 45 balls. The innings that places him at number two among the fastest centurions in the history of the league is his 41-ball ton against the Peshawar Zalmi in match 27 of the PSL 2023 season.
The cricketer scored 121 runs in all from just 51 balls with 12 boundaries and eight huge sixes in his match-winning knock.
1. Usman Khan – 36 balls
