It is the joint-fastest hundred by a Mumbai Indians batter in the history of the league. Before Varma, Sri Lankan great Sanath Jayasuriyaad struck a hundred off 45 balls against Chennai Super Kings in the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008.

The innings helped MI get to a score of 199/5 in 20 overs. For the second successive game this season a MI batter has hit a century. In MI's previous match against Punjab Kings played at the Wankhede Stadium, Quinton de Kock, played an unbeaten knock of 112 in 60 deliveries.
