Misbah-ul-Haq has always been branded as a slow batter which earned him the nickname ‘Tuk Tuk.’ However, Mr. Tuk-Tuk holds the record for the joint fastest century in Test cricket (including the fastest fifty).

He leveled the record for the fastest Test hundred set by the original Master Blaster Sir Viv Richards (56 balls) against Australia. He just went after the Aussie bowlers from the word go. His swashbuckling century was studded with 11 fours and 5 sixes.

But it didn’t last the test of time as former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum in his last Test inning broke the record scoring a century in just 54 balls.
