List of batsmen with fastest 150s in ODI cricket

List of batsmen with fastest 150s in ODI cricket: Batting has evolved so much in recent times with the fielding restrictions and heavy bats with better sweet-spots, that we get to see scores with a strike rate of more than 100 with great regularity these days. Even scores of 150 are now made in less than 100 or so deliveries easily. Here is the List of batsmen with fastest 150s in ODI cricket: 9. Sanath Jayasuriya (Sri Lanka) – 100 Balls, Total Score – 157 Sanath Jayasuriya scored 157 off 104 balls in the world record 443/9 Sri Lanka made against the Netherlands in 2006.

He hit a total of 15 sixes and 15 fours in his innings of pure carnage. He faced just 96 balls and his 150 came up in 83 balls.
