A century is a score of one hundred or more runs by a batsman in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement. The first century in a T20I match was scored by Chris Gayle of the West Indies who made 117 against South Africa at the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in 2007. South Africa won the match, one of only seven occurrences which did not result in a victory to the team with the player scoring the century. The most recent century was scored by Martin Guptill of New Zealand against Australia during the 2017 -- 18 Trans - Tasman Tri-Series. New Zealand 's Colin Munro leads the list with three T20I centuries, followed by his compatriot Brendon McCullum, Gayle, West Indies ' Evin Lewis, India 's Rohit Sharma, Australia 's Glenn Maxwell and Guptill with two each. Lewis ' first century came during the 2016 series against India at the Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Florida. In reply, India 's K.L. Rahul finished on 110 not out, the only occasion where two T20I centuries were scored in the same match. Rahul 's innings is one of the eight instances where a batsman scored a century in the second innings of a T20I match. In August 2013, Australia 's Aaron Finch posted the highest score in a T20I match with 156 while Rohit Sharma and David Miller of South Africa share the record for the fastest century, both reaching the milestone from 35 deliveries. Miller was also the first player to score a T20I century batting at number five or lower.
