10. Kevin O’Brien:
At number 10 in the list of Fastest 15 Centuries in ODI is Ireland’s Kevin O’Brien for his 50-ball century against England in 2011 World Cup. It was a century that would be remembered for ages. Ireland looked well out of the contest when England finished their innings on 327 for 8.
In reply, Ireland were reeling at 111 for 5 before O’Brien took charge. He and Alex Cusack added 162 runs for the sixth wicket to revive Ireland’s hopes. O’Brien went on to smash a 50-ball ton before being run out for 113 off 63 balls. His dismissal, however, did not hurt Ireland as they chased down the total with 5 balls remaining.
