Chandimal Rewrites T10 History with Record 29-Ball Maiden Century

Dinesh Chandimal created history by becoming the first player ever to score a century in T10 cricket, reaching the milestone in a breathtaking 29 balls during the Tri-Oceans Series 2026 Final against West Indies. The Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batter remained unbeaten on 101 off 30 deliveries, smashing 16 sixes and one four at an astonishing strike rate of 336.67. His record-breaking knock powered Sri Lanka to 174/5, the highest total of the tournament, and laid the foundation for an 18-run victory that secured the inaugural Tri-Oceans Series title. Chandimal’s historic innings earned him the Player of the Match award and established the fastest and first-ever century in T10 cricket history.
