AB de Villiers Hits the Records out of the Park

South African top order batsman AB De Villers - the current captain of his national ODI team, and the world's top ranked batsman in the format - casually managed to not only break, but annihilate the record for the fastest ever One Day International century in a game against the West Indies at the Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg. De Villiers innings comprised of 149 runs off an astonishing 44 deliveries, with the century coming in a world record 31 balls, far eclipsing the previous mark set by New Zealand's Corey Anderson who reached triple figures off of 36. De Villiers also set the world record for the fastest 50 ever achieved in an ODI in the process, bludgeoning the first half century off just 16 deliveries.
