16-yr-old Afridi hit then-fastest ODI ton with Sachin's bat
Former Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi smashed the then fastest ODI hundred off 37 balls with Sachin Tendulkar's bat against Sri Lanka, aged 16, on October 4, 1996. Afridi had revealed that former Pakistani pacer Waqar Younis had given him Sachin's bat during net practice before the match. Incidentally, the innings was Afridi's first in international cricket.
