South Africa batsman A. B. de Villiers hit a century off 31 balls to record the fastest ever one-day international ton. He set the new landmark during an innings of 149 against the West Indies in Johannesburg. He smashed eight fours and 10 sixes in beating the previous ODI record of 36 balls by New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson against West Indies last year. Chris Gayle’s 100 from 30 balls in the Indian Premier League in April 2013 is the fastest century in cricket history.
