Tim David shattered the record books with a thunderous knock in St. Kitts on Tuesday night as he recorded the fastest T20I century for Australia in only 37 balls in a steep 215-run chase against the West Indies.

Walking in on the last ball of the Powerplay at the fall of the third wicket, David got to the thick of things immediately with a four first ball. His strides grew rapidly with two monstrous overs of six-hitting, smashing nine maximums in three consecutive overs against tweakers Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein and Roston Chase. David soared past 50 in only 16 balls, bettering the joint-Australian record held by Marcus Stonis and Travis Head with half-centuries in 17 balls.

Registering his maiden T20 hundred, David broke the Australian men’s record held by his teammate Josh Inglis, who registered a 43-ball hundred against Scotland in Edinburgh last year.
