For the record, Chris Gayle has the most in this format – 21 centuries! Also, Sharma is the only player from Asian with five. Two more players have hit four: Pakistan’s Kamran Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad.

For the record, Yadav’s figures are also the best by a left-arm wrist spinner (left-arm chinaman) in ODIs. Aussie Brad Hogg claimed 5/32 against the West Indies at Melbourne on January 14, 2005, and 5/41 against Sri Lanka at Dambulla on February 20, 2004, before that.
