Except H. Amla and AB de Villiers, no other batsman in the history of cricket has ever achieved and maintained an average of 50+ in two key formats—Test and ODI Cricket. But there is some madness to their method too. Today in the most stunning display of batting, AB de Villiers scores a century off just 31 balls—the fastest in the history of ODI Cricket. He hits 10 sixes and 8 fours to reach to his hundred. In total, he scores 149 off just 44 balls, with 16 sixes and 9 fours. Amla also scores 153 runs, his highest in his ODI career. Just to give you an idea: in order to break ABs stunning record, you have to hit 17 sixes, or 25 fours, or 10 sixes and 10 fours—in just, what, 30 balls. You little beauty, AB de Villiers!
