Glenn Maxwell went berserk in Delhi, recording the fastest World Cup hundred off just 40 balls
Maxwell broke Aiden Markram's record of 49-ball hundred, which was also achieved in Delhi
Aiden Markram hit a 49-ball hundred vs SL at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Oct 7, but Maxwell broke his record within 3 weeks
Maxwell only came to bat with just 11 overs left, smashed 9 fours and 8 maximums with a SR in excess of 240 during his 44-ball 106
In 2015, Maxwell missed out on the then-fastest WC hundred record of Kevin O'Brien (50 balls) by just 1 delivery but this time he snatched the record
Glenn Maxwell's 40-ball hundred is the 4th fastest in ODI cricket, behind AB de Villiers (31 balls), Corey Anderson (36) and Shahid Afridi (37)
