Internet Desk: The cricket fanatics knows him as Mr. 360* for his various shot playing capabilities, though his original name is AB de Villiers. AB has created another record which might not be broken anytime soon. After playing a gem of a knock of 176 runs he became the only Proteas batsman to score eight out of 10 fastest hundreds in ODIs. Today in a match against Bangladesh he smashed a ton in just 68 deliveries. Except AB, the other batsmen who belongs to this list are Mark Boucher, who has ton in 44 deliveries in 2006 and David Miller who has a ton in just 69 balls against the Aussies back in 2016. de Villiers came into bat at a time when South Africa were in trouble at 90/2. He shared a 136-run partnership with opening batsman Hashim Amla. Though Amla departed for 85, ABD finished on 176 runs. Also this is his highest score in an ODI. Here is the full-list of the ten fastest tons for South Africa in ODIs: 31 balls by AB de Villiers v WI, 2015 44 balls by Mark Boucher v ZIM, 2006 52 balls by AB de Villiers v WI, 2015 57 balls by AB de Villiers v IND, 2015 58 balls by AB de Villiers v IND, 2010 66 balls by AB de Villiers v SL, 2014 68 balls by AB de Villiers v BAN, 2017 69 balls by David Miller v AUS, 2016 72 balls by AB de Villiers v ZIM, 2010 73 balls by AB de Villiers v IND, 2015
