2015 Top 15 Moments: No. 14 AB De Villiers blitzes fastest ever ODI hundred

Seemingly breaking records with every ball towards the end of his innings, de Villiers, who remained unbeaten on 162 off 66 balls, displayed the mix of conventional, unorthodox and simply unbelievable shots he has become famous for, lofting eight sixes and smashing 17 fours.

It was the second-fastest World Cup century ever, but it was not even de Villiers’ fastest ton this year.

And all this from a man who battled an energy-sapping sickness in the previous 24 hours, and was clearly far from 100 per cent when he took his place in the middle.
