1. Test Career Batting Average of 99.94.

Australian legend Sir Don Bradman played 52 test matches, scored 6996 runs with 29 centuries and 13 half centuries. He recorded a whopping 99.94 batting average in Test Cricket. Second is A C Vogues of Australia with an average of 61.88. So, it’s pretty understandable that this is one record that’s almost impossible to beat. He also holds a record of scoring six consecutive hundreds against England from the year 1937-38.

2. Most wickets in First Class Cricket

Sri Lankan Legendary Spinner Muttiah Murlitharan holds an incredible achievement of picking up most wickets in Cricket history. He has picked up 1347 international wickets in total.

He has also picked up 10 or more wickets in 4 consecutive test matches not only once but twice in the years 2001 and 2006.

3. Most number of Centuries in International Cricket

The God of Cricket and our pride Sachin Tendulkar achieved this legendary feat of adding 100 centuries in International Cricket to his name. He also has scored the most number of 90 i.e. 10 in Tests and 18 in ODIs adding up to ‘28’ Ninety Plus scores along with ‘100’ Hundreds.

4. Twin Centuries in 100th test

Former Australian Skipper Ricky Ponting scored a twin century on his 100th Test Match. This amazing feat came up against South Africa in Sydney in 2006. He scored 120 in the first innings and then an unbeaten knock of 143 in the second innings. He also played a significant role in chasing down a target of 287 runs on the final day of the test match.

5. 3 consecutive 50+ scores in World Series Finals

Getting to three World Series finals is itself an achievement but scoring three deliberating performances in all of them is icing on the cake. Former Australian wicket-keeper batter Adam Gilchrist scored two fifties and one hundred in three World Series finals in 1999, 2003 and 2007 respectively.

6. Three Double-Centuries in ODIs

Indian Captain Rohit Sharma holds this amazing feat of scoring three double centuries in ODIs. It will take a lot of time and effort to meet or cross this record as only four other batters have scored a single double century in ODIs.

7. Most number of wickets  in a Single Test Match

Jim Laker from England achieved this record as he took 19 wickets in two innings of a test match against Australia in Manchester in the year 1956. No other bowler has crossed this record except another Englishman Sydney Barnes who came close to it with 17 wickets to his pocket in a Test Match against South Africa.

8. 199 Centuries in First Class Cricket

While the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar holds the record of most centuries (100) in International Cricket. English Cricketer Jack Hobbs holds the record of scoring the most number of centuries (199) in First Class Cricket.

9. Taking an International Wicket without Bowling

Indian Batting Sensation Virat Kohli holds a very unique record of getting a wicket without even bowling. He took the wicket of England batsman Kevin Pietersen in a T20I by getting him stumped off a wide ball.

10.   Hat trick of wins in World Series

Getting to the World Series Final is itself not an easy task. But the Aussies not only went to the finals but also won it consecutively three times in the years 1999, 2003, 2007 respectively. The first win came under the captaincy of Steve Waugh and the other two came under Ricky Ponting.
