{'fastes century': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'shahid afridi': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'day international cricket match': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'world record': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'virendra sehwag': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sanath jayasuriya': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 3, Shahid Afridi.

Option 1, Sanath Jayasuriya, is not the correct answer. Although Jayasuriya is known for his aggressive batting style and has made many significant contributions to the game of cricket, he does not hold the world record for the fastest century in a One Day International (ODI) cricket match.

Option 2, Virender Sehwag, is also not the correct answer. Sehwag is a highly regarded cricketer known for his attacking batting style. He has scored many centuries in his career, but he does not hold the world record for the fastest century in an ODI match.

Option 3, Shahid Afridi, is the correct answer. Afridi holds the world record for the fastest century in an ODI cricket match. He achieved this feat in 1996 when he scored a century off just 37 balls against Sri Lanka. Afridi`s aggressive batting style and clean hitting ability contributed to this incredible achievement.

Option 4, None of these, is not the correct answer. Shahid Afridi is the correct answer as he holds the world record for the fastest century in an ODI cricket match.
