Pakistan’s rising cricket star, Saim Ayub, has etched his name in the history books with a sensational performance against South Africa in the 2024 cricket series. The 21-year-old batsman delivered an unforgettable knock, leading his team to a thrilling victory and setting a new record for the fastest century by a Pakistani in a one-day international (ODI) match.
Ayub’s blistering 100 runs off just 51 balls broke the long-standing record for the fastest century by a Pakistani in an ODI, previously held by the legendary Shahid Afridi. His aggressive stroke play, including several boundaries and sixes, stunned the South African bowlers and spectators alike.
His achievement not only highlighted his immense talent but also symbolized Pakistan’s growing strength in the limited-overs format. With this win, Ayub has established himself as one of the most exciting young prospects in world cricket.
