Tim David illuminated Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts, on Saturday after he scored the quickest century by an Australian in T20 internationals. The middle-order batter smashed 102 runs off just 37 balls, scoring 6 fours and 11 sixes. His aggressive innings enabled Australia to chase a large target of 215 runs with six wickets remaining and 23 balls remaining. This victory gave Australia a 3-0 lead in the five-match series against the West Indies. David's century is also the joint second-fastest in T20I history in the matches involving full-member nations. The in-form right-hander, who was a member of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL championship-winning team earlier this year, came out to bat in the sixth over following the dismissal of captain Mitchell Marsh. From his first ball, David took on the bowlers and gave no indication that he was holding anything back.

The 10th over itself cost 28 runs, and David reached his half-century in just 16 balls. His aggression completely flipped the game in Australia's direction. The 28-year-old also got a little luck when he was dropped on 90, but by that time, Australia were well on their way to winning. Coming in at 61/3, David remained calm and composed under pressure and ensured that he finished the task, fulfilling his image of being a great finisher in T20 cricket. Post-match, David shared a fascinating fact regarding his record-breaking innings. According to him, he played with Andre Russell's bat in this match. Russell, the West Indies all-rounder, had retired from international cricket after the second T20I in Jamaica, and David borrowed his bat for the third match. After being named as the POTM, David at the presentation ceremony said: "I've spent a lot of time working on power hitting, but now I'm working on my shot selection. I've been carrying that Dre Russ bat around for a year and it felt like it was the best time to use it." He added: “Was just having a great time in the middle playing for Australia. It was nice to have a period at home and get my body right. I didn't think I would get the opportunity to get a hundred for Australia, so I'm stoked." With this incredible knock, David not only wrapped up the series for Australia but also set a record that would be remembered for years to come.
