Top 5 Batsmen fastest to 23 hundreds in ODIs

Top 5 Batsmen fastest to 23 hundreds in ODIs: The record for the batsmen fastest to 23 tons in ODIs stood untouched for over 16 years after Sachin Tendulkar had set it in 1999. But it is now listed as the fourth since compatriot Hashim Amla scored as many hundreds in 132 innings, almost 80 innings less. Only 7 batsmen in the history of 50 overs cricket have been able to get past the twenty-three hundreds mark.

5. Ricky Ponting – 264 innings:

Australian legend and probably the best limited overs captain in world cricket Ricky Ponting scored 23 hundreds in One Day International cricket after playing 267 innings from 270 matches. While he got to those many hundreds he also had scored 9969 runs at an average of 42.78 which is slightly higher than his career average of 42.03. Ponting also had 58 half-tons while he had hit 854 boundaries and 126 sixes in the stated innings.
