India vs. Zimbabwe( Tunbridge Wells) : India were reeling at 17/5 when Kapil Dev walked in to bat and scored an impressive 175 not out runs to score the then fastest ODI century in 72 balls!

Kapil Dev did score 175* off 138 balls vs Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells in the 1983 World Cup, rescuing India from 17/5. However, his century came in 72 balls, which was NOT the fastest ODI century at the time - that record belonged to Clive Richards (West Indies, 1974, 55 balls). The statement incorrectly claims it was the fastest.
