Fastest Centuries for SRH in IPL History

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are one of the dangerous teams in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL) history. The team came into being after replacing the erstwhile Champions Deccan Chargers. In-fact Hyderabad is the only IPL team which has produced two teams who have won the title in different avatars. 

In 2016, SRH won the IPL title for the first time in their current avatar under the leadership of David Warner. In 2018, Hyderabad reached the finals before losing to the eventual winner Chennai Super Kings. David Warner was one of the talismanic players for Hyderabad who made the team a force to be reckoned with. 

Last year Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma redefined batting during the course of the season. The Aussie batter went onto score one of the SRH fastest centuries in IPL history. Travis Head put his former team Royal Challengers Bengaluru to the sword and helped them scored the highest team total in IPL history (287) and win the game.
