Australian James Faulkner's
express 116 in last ODI in Bangalore against India was actually the 10th
century by a No. 7 in one-day internationals. The first batsman was Sir Lankan
Hashan Tillakaratne's round 100 for Sri Lanka against West Indies in Sharjah in
Oct 1995, whereas the highest runs remains MS Dhoni's unbeaten 139 for the Asia
XI v Africa in Chennai in June 2007. James Faulkner's hundred, which came up in
just 57 balls, actually is the fastest by a No. 7, beating Indian Yusuf
Pathan's 68 balls against South Africa in Centurion in January 2011. For the
record, there has not yet been a one-day hundred by anyone batting lower than
No. 7.
