Usman’s ton is also the second-fastest century by a Pakistan cricketer in T20 cricket.
In 2020, Khushdil Shah scored 100 runs in just 35 balls, which included eight fours and nine sixes, in a domestic T20 match.
Twitter is all praises for Usman, and people across the country are lauding the player.
Previous record
Just yesterday, in the game against Peshawar Zalmi, Sultans Rilee Rossouw broke his record of the fastest PSL century by hitting a ton in 41 balls.
In 2020, Rossouw had scored a century in 43 balls, hitting his first 50 in 17 balls and his second 50 in 24 balls.
