6 fastest centures in ODI cricket

#3 Shahid Afridi (37 balls)

When a 16-year-old Sahibzada Shahid Mohammad Khan Afridi came onto bat against Sri Lanka during a KCA Centenary Tournament match in 1996, not much was expected of him. After all, it was only his second international match. But the right-hander, batting at No.3, announced himself to the world by scoring a 100 off just 37 balls, beating the previous record set by Sanath Jayasuriya just six months ago.

Afridi finished with 102 off just 40 balls, hitting 11 sixes and six fours. Many believed that the record will never be bettered, but it was.
