It took more than 17 years for Corey Anderson to break Shahid Afridi's record for the fastest hundred in ODIs, but AB de Villiers took just a little more than a year as he smashed West Indies to all corners of Johannesburg on Sunday, taking just 31 balls to displace Anderson from first spot.

After arriving at the crease with 11 and half overs to go, De Villiers finished with 149 off 44 balls at a staggering strike rate of 338.6. During his innings, he also managed to equal the world record for most number of sixes in an ODI innings (16), smash the record for the fastest 50, which came in 16 balls, and came tantalisingly close to breaking the record for the fastest 150. So, now the question is, how much longer will this record stand?
