AB de Villiers has become the fastest batsmen to an One Day International Century. It took him just 40 minutes, just 31 balls, it was display of explosive hitting. At the same stadium which holds the record for the highest South African One Day International score. He came in when South Africa was in a good position the first wicket record partnership between Rilee Rossouw and Hashim Amla really set them up well, & de Villiers came in the 39th over, He's the only batsmen in the world to score One Day International century after coming in after 30th over and He has actually done that twice as well. It was the perfect situation for de Villiers to do what He does best & we saw everything, we saw the big hits over back of the bowlers head, we saw the big slogs to mid-wicket, we saw the lofted drives, we saw everything. The one West Indian bowler who really suffered the most was the captain, Ab de Villiers hit him 45 runs off the nine balls he faced, it's incredible strike rate of 338. Hashim Amla faced 33 balls after de Villiers came in & added 33 runs to his total. AB de Villiers is possibly the best batsman ODI cricket has seen, that's what we're saying right now, we're saying He can do just about anything, He can take his team into phenomenal position, the way the He positions himself, the way that He moves himself, moves his feet when the balls coming, scooping balls back over the wicket-keeper's head, getting himself into unusual position & creating strokes. That's what de Villiers is all about, that was probably the best display of that, what we've seen, He's done it before in IPL, done it in T20s, done it for South Africa & given them lead in series.
Watch AB de Villiers fastest ODI Century's highlights :-)
