Explanation

Fastest run scorer means the batsman that has the best runs scored : balls faced ratio.

Player	Runs Scored in two innings	Balls Faced in two innings	Strike Rate
A	$61+14=75$	$99+76=175$	$0.43$
B	$5+50=55$	$12+85=97$	$0.57$
C	$15+20=35$	$75+50=125$	$0.28$
D	$13+12=25$	$55+50=105$	$0.24$

For batsman A: Runs scored : Balls faced = $75/175 = 0.43$

For batsman B: Runs scored : Balls faced = $55/97 = 0.57$

For batsman C: Runs scored : Balls faced = $35/125 = 0.28$

For batsman D: Runs scored: Balls faced = $25/105 = 0.24$

The best ratio is that of batsman B.
