Top 5 batsmen fastest to 20 ODI tons (by innings): Making century and making more than one century are 2 different things. Scoring centuries is a habit and making close to 20 or more than 20 centuries is done by a handful of players only. The following 5 batsmen had that habit and they scored centuries with regularity. 5. 214- Sourav Ganguly (India) sourav Ganguly scored his 20th ODI ton in 214 innings.(Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian Captain Sourav Gangly hit his 20th ton in ODIs in his 214th inning. Ganguly was the captains that revolutionized the Indian cricket with his aggression and give it back, how you get it attitude. Made his ODI debut in 1992, but didn’t play again until 1996 and was the most integral part of Indian setup until his retirement in 2008. Ganguly scored a total of 22 ODI hundreds and shared the greatest ODI opening partnership with Sachin Tendulkar. 4.197- Sachin Tendulkar (India) Sachin Tendulkar scored his 20th ODI ton in 197 innings.(Photo Source: Getty Images ) Unarguably the greatest modern era batsman, Sachin Tendulkar scored his 20th ton in his 197th inning. Regarded as one the greatest of all time, Sachin made his ODI and test debut in 1989 and had a career spanning 2 decades until he hung up his gloves in 2013. Sachin carried the burden of more than a billion fans for over 25 years with a smile and gave them back every inch of that love in form of centuries, half centuries and wickets and moments that no fan will forget. 3. 175- AB de Villiers (South Africa) AB de Villiers scored his 20th ODI ton in 175 innings (© Getty Images) AB de Villiers scored his 20th ODI ton his 175th inning. Currently he is the most sought after player in world cricket. His innovative and destructive batting in last 20 overs of ODI has redefined what finishing the match is. De Villiers has 2 of the fastest centuries in ODI history in last 2 months. De Villiers has been proving that one can have unorthodox technique and be successful at the same time. 2. 133- Virat Kohli (India) Virat Kohli scored his 20th ODI ton in 133 innings.

Virat Kohli has become one of the most consistent run scoring batsmen of recent times for India. His record while India chases targets is nothing short of stunning. The way he controls the whole game until it’s won and taking the team to victory is what makes him the most exciting batsmen of current era of cricket. 1. 108- Hashim Amla Hashim Amla is quickest to 20 ODI tons.

Hashim Amla has been one of the most consistent batsmen in cricket since his debut. Not considered a limited overs batsman, he has certainly proven those allegations incorrect by making more than 5500 runs at an average of 57.00 in ODIs as an opener. This average is closer to Michael Bevan’s ignoring the fact that Bevan was a finisher an had lots of not outs to his name. Amla can be considered a modern great despite the fact that he can easily play for 5-6 years.
