Saturday’s encounter between India and Australia at the Arun Jaitley was a complete run-fest. After the hosts were set a daunting task of chasing down mammoth 413, the Indian team responded in style, with Smriti Mandhana scoring the fastest ever ton for an Indian, in just 50 deliveries.

This also happens to be the second-fastest ever in women’s ODIs, with Meg Lanning getting to the mark in 45 deliveries. But the most remarkable part is, her 50-ball ton is the fastest for an Indian, including men’s cricket too. The men’s record for India is held by Virat Kohli, who scored 100 in 52 balls vs Australia in Jaipur, in 2013.
