Tim David delivered a historic performance by smashing the fastest T20 International (T20I) century ever by an Australian, reaching his hundred in just 37 balls against the West Indies in St Kitts.

Entering at a crucial stage with Australia chasing a daunting 215, David unleashed an explosive assault, hitting 11 towering sixes and 6 fours in his unbeaten 102. Before David, Josh Inglis' century in just 43 deliveries against Scotland was the fastest ever T20I hundred by an Australian player.

Walking in after the fall of the third wicket on the last ball of the Powerplay, David immediately went on the offensive. He brought up his half-century in just 16 balls, setting a new Australian record for the quickest T20I fifty. Notably, his onslaught included three consecutive overs featuring multiple sixes, with a stunning attack on Gudakesh Motie for four consecutive maximums.

David's knock not only broke the previous Australian record - previously held by Josh Inglis (43-ball hundred) - but also stands as the joint third-fastest T20I century against any Test-playing nation. His partnership with Mitchell Owen (128 runs for the fourth wicket, Owen contributing a brisk 36 off 16 balls) propelled Australia to victory in just 16.1 overs, securing an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

Adding an extra layer to the story, Tim David revealed after the match that he used a bat belonging to Andre Russell, the legendary West Indies all-rounder, making the feat even more memorable.

"I didn't think I would get the opportunity to get a hundred for Australia, so I'm stoked," David said after being named Player of the Match.
