An asset to the New Zealand limited overs team ever since he made his international debut, Corey Anderson shot to fame by becoming the cricketer to score the fastest century in ODI cricket in just 36 balls, breaking Shahid Afridi’s record of 37 balls against Sri Lanka in 1996.
Anderson finished with 131 in 47 balls. The innings was decorated with 6 fours and 14 gigantic sixes. Along with Jesse Ryder, the duo broke the record for maximum sixes in an ODI innings. The record was broken a year later by AB de Villiers when he scored the fastest ODI century against West Indies in just 31 deliveries.
Making his debut against England in 2013, Anderson has been a hard-hitting middle order batsman and has also opened the bowling for the Black Caps. He has a total of 55 wickets in his short international career at an impressive average of 24.52 per wicket.

Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
