ODI World Cup: South Africa feast on Sri Lanka in run fest

In March 2018, Virat Kohli had put out his admiration for Aiden Markram’s batting on social media. Markram was in majestic form in a hard-fought Test series against Australia. Cut to South Africa’s opening match against Sri Lanka, with batting aesthetics to drool over, Markram breezed to the fastest hundred in World Cup history as South Africa posted a mammoth 428/5 and set up a 102-run win.
