Fastest Hundreds in Test

On 20 February 2016, on first day of his last test match, New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum ravaged his favorite opposition Australia with a 54 ball century which now is the fastest ever in test cricket. McCullum's fifty came off 34 balls but he accelerated exponentially after that, blasting 6 sixes and 21 fours on a spicy Christchurch pitch and break all time record. Previous records for fastest Test century jointly hold Vivian Richards, West Indies master blaster and Pakistani Misbah-ul-Haq.
