New Delhi. World Cup 2023 has started. The fourth match is being played between South Africa and Sri Lanka. The South African team has batted brilliantly in this match. A total of 3 African batsmen scored centuries. First Quinton de Kock then Heinrich Klaasen and finally Aiden Markram scored a quick century. Aden Markram’s century was the most special. In fact, he has become the fastest century scorer in the ODI World Cup. He completed his century in 49 balls.
Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bowl first. Which now seems to be weighing heavily on them. Quinton de Kock played a total innings of 100 runs. Rasi van der Dusen scored 108 runs. Apart from this, Aiden Markram scored 106 runs in 54 balls. By scoring this century, Markram has created the record for the fastest century in the World Cup. Earlier this record was held by Ireland’s Kevin O’Brien. Who scored the fastest century in a World Cup match against England in 2011.
If we talk about the third player in this list, Glenn Maxwell’s name comes in the list. Maxwell scored a century in just 51 balls against Sri Lanka in the 2015 World Cup. At number four, one of the world’s most feared batsmen, AB de Villiers, also scored a 52-ball century against the West Indies in the 2015 World Cup. Eoin Morgan scored a 57-ball century against Afghanistan in the 2019 World Cup. The England team also became the champion in 2019.
