Gilchrist smashes fastest ton in IPL

I missed the IPL match between Deccan Chargers & Mumbai Indians but NDTV 24x7's crisp coverage was good enough for me.

Adam Gilchrist produced a breathtaking hundred to take Deccan Chargers to their first win. It meant that Mumbai Indians slumped to their fourth straight loss. Adam's century is the fastest so far in the Indian Premier League.
The former Australia wicketkeeper clubbed a 42-ball hundred with 10 sixes and nine fours making a joke of the 155-run target that Mumbai had set. Hyderabad were home by 10 wickets with an astounding 44 balls to spare. Hyderabad captain VVS Laxman made 36, playing bass to Gilchrist's electrifying riffs.

NDTV 24x7 is a must for Indians living in the US as it covers India-centric news extensively. The news channel is available in the US through DirecTV.
