List A cricket has always been the stage where fearless batting meets long-format discipline. Over the years, many great players have scored quick hundreds, but the last few seasons especially December 2025 have completely changed the record books.
With stunning performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26, new names have entered the elite list of the fastest centuries in List A cricket, alongside legends of the game. These innings are not just about speed, but about confidence, skill, and modern-day aggressive cricket.
A fastest century in List A cricket is counted by the number of balls taken to reach 100 runs, regardless of whether the match is international or domestic. While legends like AB de Villiers and Shahid Afridi dominated this list for years, fresh names from Indian domestic cricket have now joined them.
