Here we look at the fastest T20I centuries for Australia.
Josh Inglis - 43 balls

Josh Inglis - 47 balls
Inglis shared the previous record of the fastest T20I hundred for Australia. He tore apart the Indian bowling attack in Visakhapatnam last year. The right-handed batter came out all guns blazing and added a century stand with Steven Smith. Inglis smashed a 47-ball century before being dismissed for a 50-ball 110.
