Darren Stevens’ award-winning century was scored for Kent against Sussex at Canterbury off just 44 balls. The 37-year-old all-rounder hit 10 fours and 6 sixes in his hundred, in 53 frenzied minutes, to propel Kent to victory by 3 wickets with 9 balls remaining. A consistent match-winner with bat and ball, Stevens finished with 118 off 53 balls, including 12 fours and 7 sixes, and chipped in with two key wickets.

Stevens made his debut for Leicestershire in 1997 before joining Kent at the end of 2004. He has also played for the England Lions, while his limited-over prowess has seen him signed up by Dhaka Gladiators and Otago.

Stevens is the joint-second fastest Trophy winner – in terms of balls faced – along with Graham Napier and Kevin O’Brien who also scored 44-ballers, whilst 2012 winner, Scott Styris, remains the fastest with his hundred off 37 balls.
