Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, a well-known batsman from Namibia, has shattered the world record fo the fastest men's T20I hundred.

Nicol achieved a century in just 33 balls against Nepal.

Previously, Nepal's Kushal Malla held the record, achieving a century in 34 balls against Mongolia last year.

With an impressive display of batting including 11 fours and eight sixes, Loftie-Eaton reached 101 runs off only 36 deliveries, reaching the century mark on the 33rd delivery with a four.

Loftie-Eaton showcased his extraordinary performance during the first T20I of the Nepal Tri-Nation T20I series against the home team.

In addition to his batting prowess, Loftie-Eaton also contributed with the ball, taking two wickets and earning the player of the match award.

It's worth noting that Chris Gayle's 30-ball century in a 2013 Indian Premier League match still holds the overall record for the fastest T20 century.
