#3 149 vs West Indies, Johannesburg, 2015
18th January 2015 is a day that will be etched in the cricket books and the memory of every cricket fan forever. It was a day where bowlers had absolutely no chance to salvage any pride for themselves. This was the day when Abraham Benjamin de Villiers decided to rewrite history books, breaking numerous records and creating a few as well.
When ABD walked out to bat at No. 3 after a marathon 247-run opening partnership, nobody would have imagined what would follow. It was absolute carnage at the Wanders. Walking out to bat in the 39th over, he struck the fastest century in the history of ODI cricket (in 31 balls).
44 balls, 144 runs, 16 sixes – all this in 59 minutes at the crease. The ball flew to all parts of the ground and it was one of the best and brutal knocks ODI cricket had ever seen. Such was the impact of De Villiers’s innings that it masked brilliant centuries from Amla (153) and Rossouw (128).
