World Cup 2019: 6 players who can break AB de Villiers’ world record 31-ball hundred

#4 Jos Buttler, England

England v Australia - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Warm Up

Over the past few years, Jos Buttler has transformed into one of the cleanest hitters in world cricket. The England wicket-keeper batsman has scored runs consistently and also at a stunning pace. A couple of weeks ago, Jos Buttler scored a 50-ball hundred against Pakistan at Southampton.

He also scored a 46-ball hundred against Pakistan in 2015 at Dubai. Buttler’s career ODI strike rate is an astonishing 120, which clearly speaks volumes about his hitting abilities.

#3 Chris Gayle, West Indies

This man is a familiar figure when it comes to the fastest hundreds or towering sixes. Nicknamed ‘Universe Boss’, Chris Gayle is a bowler's nightmare, irrespective of the format. He holds the record for the fastest hundred in T20 cricket when he smacked Pune Warriors bowlers on his way to a 30-ball hundred in IPL 2013.

Gayle scored a 55-ball hundred against England in an ODI game in February. He is in great hitting form at the moment, and at 39, he has nothing to lose.
