Brendon McCullum has impacted the quickest century in Test history, a 54-ball exertion that broke the record mutually held by Viv Richards and Misbah-ul-Haq. In his 101st and last Test match, McCullum attacked Australia's bowlers tirelessly and raised his development by slamming a four over cover off Josh Hazlewood.
McCullum celebrated to an overwhelming applause from the group at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, raising his bat to all parts of the venue in his received main residence. His exertion was two balls speedier than the past record 56-ball century scored by Richards against England in Antigua in 1985-86, which was equalled by Misbah-ul-Haq against Australia in Abu Dhabi in 2014-15.
It was all the more uncommon an innings given that McCullum came in with the score at 32 for 3 in the twentieth over, as New Zealand's top request played watchfully against a seaming ball having been sent in by Steven Smith. Kane Williamson scored 7 and took more balls - 69 - than McCullum expected to get to his hundred.
McCullum had been given a noteworthy let-off on 39 when he cut to gorge and was splendidly gotten by a plunging Mitchell Marsh. Be that as it may, umpire Richard Kettleborough requested the third authority to check the front foot of bowler James Pattinson and a no-ball was affirmed.
