Stats: Batsmen fastest to 10 ODI tons

Australia opener Aaron Finch continued his red-hot form in the 2nd ODI of the five-match ODI series against the English side. In the first ODI, his 107-run inning failed to win the game for the Aussies as Jason Roy pummeled the Australian bowlers with his match-winning knock of 180. The Australian bowlers failed to stop the right-hander and the 31-year-old’s century went in vain as England chased down the 303-run target.

Australia handed ODI debut to veteran Cameron White and Big Bash League (BBL) star Alex Carey. After winning the toss they opted to bat first. Proving the skipper Steve Smith’s decision a right one, both the openers started the innings positively.

David Warner fell after a 68-run stand but Finch continued his first ODI form and repeated the feat again. This was Finch’s 10th ODI century having taken the field in 83 innings. Only four players in the history have managed to reach their 10th ODI hundred quicker than the Victoria-born opener.

Fifth fastest to get to 10 ODI centuries

Finch brought up his 10th ODI hundred in 104 deliveries with the help of 9 boundaries and a huge six at the Gabba. With this century he became 5th quickest to the landmark. South Africa wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock had reached 10 ODI century quicker than anyone else as he scored it in just the 55 innings. Following him is his teammate, right-handed Hashim Amla who registered his 10th ton in 57 innings.

Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan stands at number 3 on the list. The left-hander took 77 innings to bring up his tenth in 50-overs cricket. Currently ranked number 1 in ODI cricket, Indian captain Virat Kohli is at number 4 on the list. Kohli took 80-ODI innings to reach his 10th three-figure mark.

Wih this hundred in the ongoing ODI series, Finch also features in an unusual list where a player has not played the longer format of the game even after 10 ODI centuries under his belt.
