The Estonia number four hit 24 boundaries in his innings, including 18 maximums, scoring at a strike-rate of 351.21 as he decimated the Cyprus bowling attack.
And he brought up his century off just 27 balls, bettering the previous record, set by Namibia’s Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton in February of this year, by a full six deliveries.
Chauhan’s 18 sixes is also a new Men’s T20I record for a single innings in the format. Afghanistan’s Hazratullah Zazai and New Zealand’s Finn Allen had previously tied the record with 16 apiece.
