Jan 20: Veteran South African batsman Hashim Amla on Saturday broke Indian captain Virat Kohli’s record to become the fastest to reach the milestone of 27 ODI centuries.

He scored 108 runs off 120 deliveries in the first ODI against Pakistan at St George’s Park in Porth Elizabeth. Inspite of his knock Pakistan won the game by five wickets.

Amla steadily paced his innings and played cautiously throughout his 108-run knock to overhaul Kohli’s record. It took Amla 167 innings to score 27th ODI hundred while Kohli had achieved the milestone in his 169th innings in the first ODI against England on 15 January 2017 in Pune. Amla took a couple of innings fewer than Kohli to own the record.
