Can Anyone Break Gilchrist’s Fastest Ashes Century Record?
Adam Gilchrist still holds the record for the fastest century in Ashes history, scoring a blistering 57-ball hundred in the 2006 Perth Test. Since the Ashes began in 1882, only two players have come close: England's Gilbert Jessop with a 76-ball century in 1902, and Australia’s Travis Head, who reached his hundred in 85 balls in 2021.
