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

#2 Glenn Maxwell, Australia

Pakistan v Australia - ODI Series: Game 5

The Australia middle-order batsman is one of the powerful hitters in the world and has played some breathtaking knocks in limited overs cricket. His 51-ball hundred against Sri Lanka during the 2015 World Cup shows how good a batsman he is.

Maxwell can clear boundaries at will and is proficient on both sides of the wicket. His ability to improvise and play innovative strokes makes him a destructive batsman. His ODI strike rate of 122 exemplifies his abilities.

#1 Andre Russell, West Indies

West Indies v New Zealand – ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Warm Up

Russell instils fear in the minds of the bowlers and preys upon it. Arguably the most deadly batsman in the world right now, Russell is unstoppable when he is in full cry. With abilities to hit even the good balls out of the park, Russell uses his upper body strength to decimate the bowlers.

He scored a 42-ball hundred in the 2016 CPL and bettered it with a 40-ball hundred in 2018. He was phenomenal in the recently concluded IPL and also scored a quick-fire fifty in the warm-up game against New Zealand earlier this week.
