Abraham Benjamin (Ab) De Villiers an destructive South African cricketer who captains the South African Test and One Day International (ODI) teams, and is also regarded as one of the best batsman in the world at present and also one of the best of all time
In the match against West Indies in Jan-2015, he broke not only the record of another South African player Corey Anderson off the fastest century of 36 balls by scoring his century in just 31 balls!! and in total scored 162 runs in just 64 Balls!!!
He is now the Offical record holder for:
1) Fastest 50* (in 16 balls)
2) Fastest 100* (in 31 balls)
3) Fastest 150* (in 64 Balls)
4) Equaled most sixes in a match record of 16 Sixes of Indian Player: Rohit Sharma
In the same match along with Hashim Amla they both set an world record of fastest partnership of 192 Runs in just 67 deliveries though Amla's contribution was just 30 runs!!
It would not be wrong if this match can be witnessed also for the number of records made or broken.. !!!
None of the the West Indian bowlers were spared as de Villiers put on his full range of strokes. There was the pull, the scoop, the lofted drive and the good old slog and Jason Holder, given the toughest of examinations as a young captain, was hardest hit. De Villiers plundered 45 runs off the nine balls he faced from him, including six of his sixes.
