David Miller’s fastest century: South African batsman David Miller once again fought alone for his team in the knockout of the ICC tournament. He scored a stormy century against New Zealand in the semi -finals of the Champions Trophy 2025 but could not win his team. He also scored the fastest century in the history of the Champions Trophy, but it did not change the fate of the team. He has always done well in the knockout matches of the ICC ODI tournament but the team has been losing every time.
David Miller completed his century in about 67 balls in the semi -final match, the fastest century in the history of the Champions Trophy. Earlier, Virender Sehwag scored a century in 77 balls against England in Colombo in 2002. Josh English equaled Sehwag by scoring a century on the same balls in the Champions Trophy league match against England this year. Shikhar Dhawan scored a century in 80 balls against South Africa in Cardiff in 2003. Sri Lanka’s Tilakaratne Dilshan scored a century in 87 balls against South Africa in 2009 at Centurion.
