South Africa skipper AB de Villiers took the Wanderers by storm and scored the fastest ODI century off just 31 balls against the West Indies in the second one-dayer of the five-match series.

The Proteas captain, along with Rilee Rossouw and Hashim Amla, propelled South Africa to a massive 439 in 50 overs. De Villiers also smashed 16 sixes in his innings and equalled the record of most number of maximums in an ODI.

De Villiers after his magnificent ton revealed that he wanted David Miller to play ahead of him by coach Russell Domingo asked him to come play on number three.

“I approached Russell Domingo about four or five times saying, ‘Are you sure me and not David Miller?’ and he said ‘Yes, sure,’ and then two or three overs later, Sulieman Benn came back and I went to Russell for a final time and said ‘Maybe him now?’ and he still said, ‘No, you’.

“Russell feels I can inject us with fuel, momentum, which I can do but I just felt David could do it better,” de Villiers explained afterwards. “It was just my day. And what a day it was.”
