South African batsman AB De Villiers on Sunday scored the fastest hundred in the history of ODI cricket.
De Villiers’ century came up in just 31 balls against the West Indies in the 2nd ODI at Johannesburg.
The 30-year-old arrived at the crease after a 247-run opening wicket partnership between Rilee Rossouw and Hashim Amla, who both went on to make hundreds.
De Villiers’ hundred included 8 boundaries and 10 sixes.
The South African broke the record of New Zealand batsman Corey Anderson who held the record for the fastest hundred scoring it off 36 balls against West Indies last year.
Cricketing fraternity were quick to congratulate De Villiers as they shared their sentiments on micro blogging site Twitter.
