HASHIM AMLA BREAKS VIRAT KOHLI'S RECORD

Hashim Amla is going very well on breaking records set up by Virat Kholi .South African opener Hashim Amla has now become the fastest cricketer to score 17 ODI centuries. He reached the mark by scoring a hundred in the third ODI vs Australia played at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on last Wednesday. Amla reached to this milestone in his 98th innings, 14 less than the earlier record-holder Virat Kohli.Virat Kholi took 112 Innings to score 17 Centuries.
Amla has been South Africa’s Mr. Consistent over the past few years, frequently giving them good starts at the top of the order and piling on the runs in every series. He earlier became the fastest to score 15 ODI hundreds as well when he scored a century against Zimbabwe in, again going past Kohli. Amla achieved that feat in his 86th innings while the Indian superstar  took 20 more innings to get to the mark. Amla made his ODI debut for South Africa in 2008, the same year Kholi made his debut and has developed into an extremely effective one-day cricketer over the years.
