South African skipper AB de Villiers hit the fastest hundred in One Day Internationals, off just 31 balls, during the second match against West Indies at Johannesburg on Sunday. [caption id=“attachment_2052837” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  South Africa’s captain AB de Villiers plays a shot during the second One-Day International (ODI) against the West Indies at the Wanderers Stadium. Reuters[/caption] De Villiers hit a record-equalling 16 sixes and nine fours, breaking New Zealand’s Corey Anderson record of a 36-ball ton in 2014. Rohit Sharma had hit 16 sixes during his 209-run knock vs Australia in 2013. He got out on 149 off 44 deliveries, one run away from shattering the record for fastest 150 - currently held by Australian Shane Watson who reached the mark in 83 balls against Bangladesh - as he guided the hosts to their highest ODI total - 439 for two. Here are some of the twitter reactions:

AB de Villiers is on fire!
Anderson took 36 balls to complete his ton and AB de Villiers took 31. Then there's Dhritrashta, who took only 2 balls. ;) #WIvSA #SAvWI
