Australia allrounder Glenn Maxwell has obliterated the record for the fastest century in ODI World Cup history with a scintillating display against the Netherlands.
The 35-year-old demolished the Dutch in Delhi on Wednesday, racing to his third ODI ton in just 40 balls, to power Australia to a mammoth 8-399 at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Maxwell was out for 106 from 44 balls in the final over after an explosive innings of reverse ramps that included nine fours and eight sixes.
Living up to his old nickname of 'The Big Show', the enigmatic Maxwell smashed the previous record for fastest World Cup century, set by South Africa star Aiden Markram (49 balls) at the same ground just 18 days ago.
Maxwell also beat his own Australian record for quickest ODI ton, made at the 2015 World Cup against Sri Lanka.
