He gave a spectacle of his belligerent hitting by scoring a 31-ball whirlwind ton against West Indies at Johannesburg. In the same innings, he made the fastest fifty, taking 16 balls. The former South African cricketer hit the fastest ODI 150 off 64 balls against Windies in 2015 World Cup. For the record, he is South Africa’s second highest ODI ton maker behind Hashim Amla. He was also second fastest to reach the 8000 and 9000-run ODI milestone, giving an account of remarkable consistency at scoring runs against quality oppositions around the world. De Villiers, the former South African skipper retired from international cricket in May 2018 after a glittering career that spanned over 114 Tests, 228 ODIs and 78 T20Is across 14 years. For a natural athlete who excelled at multiple sports like rugby, athletics, swimming and tennis during his teenage, de Villiers eventually choose cricket and went onto become one of South Africa’s greatest cricketers in all formats of the game.
