Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis made history, slamming the fastest century by an Australian on Test debut and overall second-fastest during the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle

Having represented Australia in 26 ODIs and 29 T20Is, Jos Inglis came in to bat at number five in Test cricket. The batsman smashed a boundary on the very first ball of his innings and went all guns blazing from there on

The 29-year-old reached his half-century in 51 deliveries which was laced with 5 fours. Later, after facing 90 balls, Inglis reached the celebrated three figures. His century saw him hit 10 fours and 1 six and hence also became the fastest Australian to complete a century in the longest format of the game

In the traditional format of the game, Team India's opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan holds the record for the fastest century as he achieved the milestone in just 87 balls outdoing West Indies' Dwayne Smith comes second on the list with a 93-ball ton

Australia's Josh Inglis made 102 in 94 balls, with 10 fours and a six in his debut Test innings, with his runs coming at a strike rate of 108.51
