Richards complimented South Africa's Aiden Markram- he hit a short-lived fastest World Cup century off 49 balls, Glen Maxwellhe bettered it by reaching the mark in 40 balls, and Quinton de Kock-he has hit four centuries in this edition, as well as young New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindrahis sensational run to top the run aggregate includes three hundreds and two fifties.
