The list of fastest centurions on Test debut features some relatively recent performances. Former Delhi Capitals’ opening pair feature in the top-5 list – Shikhar Dhawan & Prithvi Shaw. Dhawan’s incredible hundred against Australia in 2013 tops the chart. He also tops the list of the Indian batsmen with the highest score in the debut Test match.
