In the world of cricket, new records are made in every round and many old records are also broken. However, there are some records which have become stronger with time. Looking at these records, it seems that far from breaking them, even coming close to them is no less than a miracle. There are four such great records in the history of cricket, which still surprise the players and fans.
Jack Hobbs’s 199 centuries: a mountain of first class cricket
The name of the great English batsman Jack Hobbs will always be written in golden letters in first class cricket. Hobbs played 834 first class matches in his long career and scored 199 centuries. This figure seems almost untouched today. Hobbs played cricket for 29 years and scored more than 61 thousand runs. In modern cricket, where players play limited matches and keep changing formats, it seems impossible to reach 199 centuries.
Don Bradman’s test average of 99.94
Australia’s Sir Don Bradman is not called the greatest batsman of cricket for no reason. His average in Test cricket was 99.94, which no batsman has been able to touch till date. Scoring runs at an average of almost 100 in 52 test matches is like a dream. However, Bradman was out for zero in the last innings of his career. If he had scored just 4 more runs, his average would have become 100. In today’s era, where an average of 50 is considered a big thing, reaching 99.94 seems impossible.
Rohit Sharma’s three double centuries in ODIs
Indian captain Rohit Sharma did what no other batsman in the world could do in ODI cricket. Rohit has achieved the feat of scoring three double centuries in ODIs. Not only this, he also made the highest individual score in ODI cricket by playing a historic inning of 264 runs against Sri Lanka. Till date, no batsman has been able to score three double centuries in ODIs, which makes this record very special.
Jim Laker’s feat of taking 19 wickets in test
England’s legendary spinner Jim Laker took 19 wickets in a test match in 1956. He had achieved this feat against a legendary team like Australia. Laker took 9 wickets in his first innings and 10 wickets in his second innings, which still seems like a dream. To break this record, a bowler will have to bowl almost perfect in both the innings, which is very difficult in current cricket.
