Hello 911? AB de Villiers is on fire! Twitter reactions on the fastest ton

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](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/RTR4LVB6.jpg) 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:
