Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: Josh Inglis (110) hammered the joint-fastest century in T20I for Australia and added 130 runs for the second wicket partnership with Steven Smith (52) as the visitors blasted 208/3 in their 20 overs in the opening T20I of the five-match series against India here on Thursday.

Inglis slammed his century off 47 balls, hitting nine fours and eight sixes as he raced to 110 off 50 deliveries after Idnia skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to field first at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium.

Inglis, who is the fifth Australian batter to score a hundred in T20 Internationals, added 130 runs for the second wicket with Steve Smith, which is the highest stand for the second wicket for Australia in this format.
