This was the record for the fastest century in ODI cricket at that time, which stood for 18 years. Afridi hit 11 sixes and 6 fours in this innings.

Afridi could not digest Sachin's praise
During the conversation, the anchor thanked Sachin Tendulkar and said, “First of all we thank Sachin Tendulkar for giving us that bat. You keep giving bats to our children in future also…” Afridi could not digest Sachin's praise and he interrupted the anchor and said, “Yes, I have come to know that when Sachin used to play with that bat, he was also out on zero.
