In ODI cricket, the batters usually play steadily during the start of the innings and then change the gears in the last few overs. However, some batters bat with an attacking approach and went on to play a big knock in fewer balls.
There are also a few ODI matches where the batter scored a century in less number of balls and etched their name in the history books of cricket. Here are the top 10 cricketers to score the fastest hundred in the ODI format.
Fastest ODI Hundred
10. Jos Buttler - 46 balls
