Top 10 Fastest centuries in ODIs

Top 10 Fastest centuries in ODIs: A century by any batsman is always very interesting to watch as a spectator (not as the opposition though). In ODI cricket, there two kinds of batsmen, one who is orthodox, plays the copybook shots and looks genuinely classy. But, the other kinds of batsmen are the ones who are highly unorthodox. They play with a devil-may-care attitude when at the crease. They don’t try to be flamboyant; all they care about is hitting huge sixes and score at a blistering strike rate. Also, with the flourish of the T20 cricket, batsmen’s have become even more adventurous and hardly spare a thought for the bowler when they decide to launch an attack at the opposition. Such entertaining knocks from these dashing batsmen always add more spice and flavor to the game of cricket.
