Every cricket lover has a right to know that what had happened in the history of cricket. This is an effort to convey some unique records to cricket lovers just like me to grab some more knowledge about cricket and its records.
10. Longest Innings in the record books (in terms of time)
The longest Innings in the record books is played by Hanif Muhammad of Pakistan against West Indies.
Pakistan was trailing by 376 runs. This is considered as the best innings played by a foreign player in the Caribbean against the deadliest bowling attack of the time. His Innings Lasted 960 Minutes in which he scored 337 Runs. This is also best 2nd innings score by any individual.

9. Most Runs Without Getting Out in ODI, s
Muhammad Yousaf an extremely talented batsman, one of the Best Pakistan has ever produced. He holds the Record of scoring most runs without getting out in ODI,s. He scored 405 runs after he ran himself out against the Zim,s. His contributions were 141*, 76*,100*,88 during that series. Due to that performance he became No 1 ranked player in ICC ODI ranking at that time. 2nd in that list is Lance Clusner from SA scoring 400 runs without getting out.
8. Most time to remain in top 2 ICC Ranking
Shaun Pollock of SA is considered the most economical bowler in the modern ODI cricket. He is Known more for his accuracy then his wicket taking ability. He remained at top two positions for almost nine years ranging from 1998 to 2007 the end of his career. He was so ahead of other bowlers that at the end of his career when he left cricket, 2nd best bowler in ranking Ntini also from SA was almost 100 points behind him.
7. Most Six Wicket Haul
Normally we see in the record books or profile of a bowler with 5 wicket Haul. Here is the unique record most 6 wicket haul in ODI Cricket. Waqar Younas of Pakistan holds the record of most 6 wicket haul in ODI,s. It is incredible that if you compare it to other top bowlers you will merely see it twice but Waqar has 5. He is Considered as the best fast bowler with a round arm action. His 6 wicket Haul are listed as 6/59 (AUS),6/44(NZ),6/41(NZ),6/26 (NZ),7/36 (Eng).No one had a clue to his deadly and swinging Yorkers.
6. Hundred in 1st world cup match
It has happened only once in the history of world cup that a player has scored a hundred in his first world cup match. This record is built by the best emerging super star Virat Kohli. He Scored Hundred against Bangladesh in his first world cup match in 2011 world cup. He not only scored a hundred but he built a huge partnership with Viru to get them well beyond 350. Virat is said by many that he is the one who can break the records set by the little master Sachin. Time will tell weather he is good enough to do so but for a young cricketer no compliment can be bigger than this one.
5. Most consecutive hundreds
Cricket has evolved immensely during 2 decades but every cricket follower knows that no one has reached the legacy of The Sir Don Bradman. This record owes to one and only Sir Donald Bradman, some of us may say that The great Sachin has achieved more than him but one thing is sure that consistency of Bradman has not been achieved by any one. He scored 6 consecutive hundred in six matches which is a record not broken yet by any one. 2nd in this list is Mohammad Yousaf and Kallis with doing this in 5 matches.
4. Most Hattrics
Hattrics are not done every day. It happens once in a while specially in Test and ODI. The person having this record has not Played a single T20 so this record is more special and this record is owned by “King of Swing” Wasim Akram. He has 4 hattrics in all, 2 in ODI,s against WI and AUS and 2 in test matches both against Sri Lanka. Test Hattrics are in consecutive matches as well which it self is a record achieved by none other. Along side this he held the record of most wickets in ODI,s for quite some time which was broken by Murli eventually.
3. Most Wickets With Getting a Fifty
In the world of ODI cricket it has happened only 16 times that a player has scored fifty and took 5 wickets as well and the cricketer who hold this record has his name 3 times in that list. Shahid Afridi has three 5 wicket hauls with a fifty in that match as well, against Sri Lanka and England. But the match he holds the record for is against W Indies in which he made 76 runs along with taking 7 Wickets for just
12 runs. It is also the second best Bowling performance ever in ODI after Vass 8/19 against Zim,s.
12 runs. It is also the second best Bowling performance ever in ODI after Vass 8/19 against Zim,s.
2. Most man of the match award ODI
Getting man of the match is a thing wished but by every cricketer but you need consistent performance to get it regularly. The cricketer holds this record has achieved more than what a batsman can only wish for. The only one to score 100 International Hundred “Sachin Tendulkar”. He has been adjudged man of the match 62 times during his ODI career. This is more than any one in the world. He has a man of the match almost every 7th match which is 2nd after Hashim Alma every 6 matches but if you compare the amount of cricket played by Sachin it is much more than Alma’s efforts. Getting man of the match every 7th match is big deal for a player having such a long illustrious career.
1. Most Successful Captain
Well I think every one Knows that MS Dhoni is the most successful captain in the world if you consider the things he has achieved during his captaincy. he has achieved all goals possible for a captain in only 6 years of hid captaincy. Starting from T20 world cup in 2007, No 1 team in T20 ICC ranking, No 1 test team in ICC ranking, winning ODI world cup, winning champions trophy and holding No 1 position In ODI ranking by ICC. Being captain of IPL Champions and Champions League for Domestic team events and list is carrying on well any thing he achieves will only add to his telly but it will not add a new trophy because he has all of them already. His Individual performance scan also can be talked a lot. I will only say He has always leaded from the front.
