South Africa etched their name in record books after breaking multiple World Cup records during their World Cup 2023 match against Sri Lanka in Delhi.
The Proteas broke three records first by posting the highest total in World Cup history as they smashed 428 runs in 50 overs.
This is the the first time three centuries were scored in an innings of a World Cup match as Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, and Aiden Markram all scored tons for South Africa.
This is only the fourth time in one-day international (ODI) history that three centuries were scored in an innings. Three of these four innings are of the Proteas.
Meanwhile, Markram’s 49-ball century became the fastest World Cup century breaking the previous record made by Ireland’s Kevin O’Brien who smashed a 50-ball ton against England in the 2011 World Cup.
