Corey James Anderson (born 13 December 1990) is a New Zealand–born American cricketer who played as an all-rounder for both the New Zealand and United States international sides. After retiring from the New Zealand team in 2020, he announced his intention to play for the United States in 2022. He was a part of the New Zealand squad to finish as runners-up at the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
On 1 January 2014, Anderson scored the then fastest century in the history of One Day International cricket. Playing against West Indies, he reached his hundred in just 36 balls, breaking Shahid Afridi's previous record of 37 deliveries. Anderson finished the innings unbeaten on 131 in 47 balls, hitting 14 sixes and 6 fours. This record was later broken in 2015 by AB de Villiers, who scored a century against the West Indies off 31 deliveries.
Domestic career
[edit]Anderson came into the Canterbury Wizards Squad in the 2006/07 season, freshly promoted from his performances for the New Zealand under-19 cricket team. He also played for his high school 1st XI team at Christchurch Boys' High School including playing in the side which won three consecutive Gillette Cups from 2005 to 2007.
Anderson was also jointly named player of the Gillette cup in 2006 when he shared this honor with current Blackcap Tim Southee.[1]
In 2007, Anderson received a playing contract from New Zealand Cricket, making him the youngest player in New Zealand first-class cricket history to gain a contract.[2]
Anderson had yet to show his full potential at first-class level and after several injuries interrupted seasons with shoulder and groin injuries, Corey Anderson transferred to Northern Districts at the start of the 2011/12 season to restart his promising career.

On 1 January 2014, at the Queenstown Events Centre Anderson broke Shahid Afridi's 17-year-old record of the fastest ODI hundred by one ball, scoring his in 36 balls.

In IPL 8, Anderson made valuable contributions with his bat in the earlier games, scoring two half-centuries in four games, but was ruled out following a finger injury.
In February 2017, he was bought by the Delhi Daredevils team for the 2017 Indian Premier League for 1 crore.[11] He would replace fast bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile in the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad for the 2018 IPL season, the IPL Technical Committee confirmed on 24 March.
