Records are made and broken every day in cricket. There are 11 such great records in cricket, which are almost impossible to break. These include Brian Lara’s mountain of 400 runs or Rohit Sharma’s inning of 264 runs in ODI. All the records like Sir Jack Hobbs’ 199 centuries in first class cricket and Sachin Tendulkar’s 100 centuries in international cricket have remained unbroken for a long time. Here we are going to tell you about those great records, which are impossible to break.

11 great records in the history of cricket

1. Sachin Tendulkar – (India)

India’s great batsman and God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar is the first and only player to score 100 centuries in international cricket. His record includes 51 Test centuries and 49 ODI centuries. Sachin’s journey of 100 centuries started with his first Test century against England in 1990 and his first ODI century against Australia in 1994. He broke many records and also created new records in both formats throughout his career. Considering the huge challenge of maintaining such consistency in both formats for 24 years, it is difficult to imagine that any player will be able to surpass this feat in the future.

2. Rahul Dravid – (India)

Veteran Indian batsman Rahul Dravid, popularly known as ‘The Wall’, was never out on a golden duck in Test cricket. During 286 Test innings, Dravid was never out on his first ball. Dravid played 164 Test matches in which he scored 13,288 runs at an average of 52.31. In which he scored 36 test centuries. Dravid has done all these feats in Test cricket without becoming a golden duck.

3. Brian Lara – (West Indies)

Former West Indies captain Brian Lara had scored unbeaten 400 runs in an innings against England in the Test match played in Antigua in 2004. Lara is the only player in the world to score 400 runs in an innings in the oldest format of cricket. To achieve this feat, he faced 582 balls and batted for 778 minutes. His innings had ended. During this period he hit 43 fours and four sixes.

4. Wiane Mulder – (South Africa)

South African batsman Wiaan Mulder had recently come close to Brian Lara’s world record of 400 runs. Mulder scored 367 not out, which was the second fastest triple century in a Test match, with 49 fours. However, Mulder declared the innings 33 runs before the record in honor of the great West Indies batsman Brian Lara, thereby maintaining that special record.

5. Rohit Sharma – (India)

India’s star batsman Rohit Sharma played an inning of 264 runs in the ODI against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens on November 13, 2014. He played this record innings in just 173 balls with the help of 33 fours and 9 sixes.

His remaining two double centuries include 209 runs against Australia in 2013 and 208 not out against Sri Lanka in Mohali in 2017. No other player in ODI history has scored more than one double century.

6. Muttiah Muralitharan – (Sri Lanka)

Sri Lanka’s legendary off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan holds the record for taking most wickets in Test cricket. Muralitharan has taken maximum 800 wickets in 133 matches. He achieved this feat between 1992 and 2010 with his spin and mystery bowling. Muralitharan has many other big records in his name, which include the record of taking most 10 wickets in Tests (22) and most wickets in ODIs (534).

7. Sir Jack Hobbs – (England)

Great English batsman Sir Jack Hobbs scored a total of 199 centuries in his first class career. He played 834 first-class matches from 1905 to 1934 and scored 61,760 runs. Hobbs also scored 5,410 runs in 62 Test matches at an average of 56.94, which included 15 Test centuries. His record of 199 first-class centuries still stands. Modern cricket is difficult to break considering the speed at which it is being played.

8. Sir Donald Bradman – (Australia)

Australia’s great batsman Sir Donald Bradman holds the world record for scoring the highest number of runs in Test cricket at an average of 99.94. Bradman played 52 Test matches in his Test career and scored 6,996 runs, which included 29 centuries. During this period he also scored 12 double centuries. This is also a record which no one has been able to break till date. He scored 974 runs in a single Test series in the year 1930, which is another record. Bradman’s career average of 99.94 is a record in cricket history which seems impossible to break.

9. Wilfred Rhodes – (England)

England cricketer Wilfred Rhodes is the oldest player to debut in a Test match. When he played for England against the West Indies at Sabina Park, Kingston in April 1930, he was 52 years and 165 days old. The special thing is that Rhodes started his Test career by batting in the lower order, but later he made his mark as an opener.

10. Hadley Verity – (England)

England’s legendary left-arm spinner Hedley Verity has a record in his name which no one has been able to break till date.

During this, he took 10 wickets for 10 runs in an innings against Nottinghamshire. There came a phase in this brilliant spell when he took seven wickets in just 15 balls, which also included a hat-trick. His taking 10 wickets for 10 runs is still the biggest example of accurate bowling. This achievement is almost impossible in modern cricket.

11. Jason Gillespie – (Australia)

Former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie holds the record for playing the biggest innings as a nightwatchman. Gillespie scored an unbeaten 201 in an innings of the 2006 Test match against Bangladesh in Chittagong.

Cricket Record: Not only the number of wickets in the world’s top bowlers matters, but it is also important that how many times they have changed the attitude of the match alone and have shown half the team the path of the pavilion with their accurate bowling. Taking 5 wickets in an innings “Five Wicket Hall” in cricket is considered to be a major achievement of any bowler. Today we are telling you about those bowlers who have done this feat most times including Test, ODI and T20 International.

Gautam Gambhir, the current head coach of the Indian cricket team, is known for his impeccable style. In his days, he was called a player of big matches. The innings of 75 runs in the final of the 2007 T20 World Cup and 97 runs in the final of the 2011 ODI World Cup helped India to register a historic victory. Now a figure has come out, which is enough to surprise the cricket world. Actually, the topic of discussion here is the number of sixes put in international cricket by Gautam Gambhir.

Gautam Gambhir played 242 matches for India in an international career of about 13 years, in which he was able to hit only 37 sixes. He sent 10 in Tests, 17 in ODIs and 10 times in T20 cricket to the ball across the boundary. He used to play cricket of serious aggressive style, but he was never known for hitting power, which is why he was able to hit only 37 sixes in 242 international matches, but the number of fours he has imposed is 1,188.

Less sixes than Muralitharan

It is true that Gautam Gambhir has hit less sixes than Muttiah Muralitharan in international cricket, who was a bowler by profession. Great spin bowler Muralitharan batting in most of his career in 9, 10 and 11th order. Despite being a bowler, this Sri Lankan veteran hit 41 sixes in his international career. This figure of Muralitharan is also special because he is not an all -rounder but a completely bowler.

Let us tell you that Gautam Gambhir is currently targeted by critics. While his head coach, India’s white ball teams have performed well, but they have not been able to leave much impact on Test cricket. Rahul Dravid’s under India remained the world’s number-1 Test team for a long time, but it cannot be denied that the victory in Gambhir’s under one Test match seems to be like a big achievement.
