AB de Villiers with his blazing innings not only broke multiple cricket records, but he demoralised and demolished the entire opposition bowling. So much so that they now are consulting motivators ahead of the upcoming matches.

The way de Villiers batted was ruthless hitting which had a very strong mental preparation to back it. As he confronted in the post match conference that even before going on the field he knew he was going to do something like that.

The record for the fastest ODI century by Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi which earlier stood for years untouched was just a year back broken and rewritten by New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson as he achieved the same in 36 balls. AB amended it further by reaching his hundred in 31 balls taking it a bit to high this time.

As the world received his innings in awe and astonishment read along the best twitter reactions that greeted AB de Villiers for his record making innings
