Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews became the first cricketer to be given timed out in the 146-year history of international cricket. However, his was far from being the first unusual dismissal in cricket World Cup history.
He hit 28 centuries in Tests and 27 in ODIs. His Test tally included four double centuries.
Hashim Amla's superb 103 enabled Punjab put up a competitive 198 for 4 in 20 overs but Buttler made a mockery of the target with Mumbai Indians knocking off the runs in only 15.3 overs.
Electing to bat, RCB rode on de Villiers' unbeaten 46- ball 89-run unconquered innings laced with as many as nine sixes and three fours to post a modest 148-4 after being reduced to 22-3 in 5 overs. Chasing the target, Manan Vohra (34) and Amla (58) gave Punjab a flying start, sharing 62 off 35 balls for the opening wicket before Tymal Mills put the breaks by getting rid off the former in the sixth over.
Chasing 481 for victory, South Africa resumed day five on 72-2 and folded for 143 soon after the tea break after some dour display by their top order.
In the end, Kohli's 23rd ODI hundred proved to be a shade better effort than De Villiers' 22nd ton in the final context of the match. If Kohli's innings was about asserting his supremacy in the limited overs format, De Villiers was innovation personified hitting all round the wicket.
South Africa's AB de Villiers hit the fastest century in one-day internationals today against the West Indies in Johannesburg.
All-rounder Jacques Kallis dominated the South African Cricket Awards, winning three of them, including the prestigious Cricketer of the Year.
