The Toss

Tossing the coin and not knowing that this day is a day of records! What a game! Congrats Proteas for not only winning the game 439/2(50) vs 291/7(50), but South Africa's AB de Villiers set a number of records as he smashed the fastest ever ODI century against West Indies on Sunday.
*Fastest 50 in ODIs in 16 balls (breaking Sanath Jayasuriya's previous record by one ball)
*Fastest 100 in ODIs in 31 balls (breaking New Zealander Corey Anderson's previous record by five balls)
*Equalled Rohit Sharma's record for most sixes (16) in an ODI innings
*Helped South Africa to reach their highest ODI total of 439
*Recorded a strike rate of 339 during his knock - the first time a batsman has made a 100-plus score at a 300-plus strike rate.
*Took 19 minutes to score 50 and 40 minutes to reach his century
*Already the only batsman ever to score an ODI century after coming in to bat after the 30th over, he has now achieved the feat twice. (Stats thanks to Sport24)
