2. Virender Sehwag in 60 Balls
- Venue: Hamilton
- Opponent: New Zealand
- Balls Taken: 60
Before Virat Kohli’s “went-like-a-rocket” innings in Jaipur in 2013, It was Virender Sehwag, who was enjoying the tag of ‘Fastest Indian to score Hundred in ODI’
Though, this innings of Sehwag is still
- the fastest ODI Century by an Indian batsman in an away match!
- the fastest ODI Century by an Indian Opener!
Also, with this innings, Viru had beaten the previous record of Mohammad Azharuddin almost after 20 years.
Result: India defeated New Zealand in the rain-affected match by D/L par score!
