ISLAMABAD: Australian batsman Travis Head has created history in the first ODI against Pakistan by becoming the fifth-fastest to reach the century milestone.
Head reached his 100-run mark in only 70 deliveries which included 12 boundaries and three maximums.
The left-hander was eventually sent back to the pavilion by Iftikhar Ahmed as Khushdil Shah held on to Head’s catch at long-off.
With this century, Head’s name will go down in the history books as he has equaled the number of deliveries it took Ross Taylor to get to the milestone back in 2011.
Here are the fastest centuries against Pakistan in ODIs:
- 46 – Jos Buttler, 2015
- 48 – Sanath Jayasuriya, 1996
- 50 – Jos Buttler, 2019
- 69 – Mushfiqur Rahim, 2015
- 70 – Travis Head, Today
- 70 – Ross Taylor, 2011
In addition to that, Head has also become the fastest Australian to reach the milestone against Pakistan.
