\nPakistan\u2019s opening batter Imamul Haq Thursday entered the record books when he became the quickest batsman in the world to reach the ninth ODI hundred in his career.
\nImam smashed a century during the second ODI against Australia in Lahore, his 2nd consecutive in the series, to surpass South Africa\u2019s Hashim Amla in the list of taking the fewest innings to score the ninth ODI hundred.
\nImam score 106 runs before being caught by Marnus Labuschagne off Adam Zampa.
\nThe 26-year-old opening batter reached this milestone in the 48th inning of his ODI career. Hashim Amla had scored his ninth century in 52 innings, Quinton de Kock took 53 and Babar Azam took 61 innings to score their century in ODIs.
\nThe left-handed batter has also surpassed legend Zaheer Abbas for scoring the most aggregate runs in ODIs after playing the first 48 innings of his career. During his three-figure innings at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore, Imam surpassed Zaheer Abbas\u2019 record of 2,166 runs in 48 innings.
