Kevin O'Brien has hit the fastest century in World Cup history after reaching his 100 in just 50 balls during Ireland's on-going match with England.
The 26-year-old hit six maximums and 13 fours en route to the milestone, which broke the previous record set by Australian Matthew Hayden who hit 101 off 66 balls against South Africa in St Kitts in 2007.
Kevin O'Brien stunned England with the fastest hundred in World Cup history as Ireland secured their greatest victory with a monumental three-wicket triumph in Bangalore. O'Brien clubbed a magnificent 113 off 63 deliveries as Ireland earned the highest World Cup run-chase with four balls to spare. After he'd added a match-changing 162 with Alex Cusack, John Mooney joined him to play the innings of his life and help write another famous chapter in Irish sport.
