In this world we have seen lots of games but cricket is one of the popular games. Players are often seen setting some records in this game. Some of these records break over time, year after year, emerging as new records. Again, some records last for decades. But there are some remarkable records in this historical game that it seems almost impossible to break and set new records. Below are 8 such records.
1. Don Bradman's: 99.94 Test batting average
The Australian cricketer has averaged 99.94 runs in 60 Test innings of his career, which is a marvel in the history of cricket. The second player on the list was able to build a little over 70.
Another remarkable record for Bradman is his average of 95.14 in first-class cricket, which cricket fans believe is almost impossible to break.
2. Muttiah Muralitharan: 1,346 international wickets
Murali's bowling has been a source of frustration for cricket's best batsmen. Nearly 20 years after his debut, right-arm off-break bowler Murali has amassed 600 Test and 534 ODI wickets with 13 Tw20 witkets, a record in his respective division.
It seems impossible to break this outstanding record of Murali.
3. Jim Laker: 19 wickets out of 20 wickets
In Jim Laker'scricket career, he made a rare achievement against Australia at Old Trafford in 1958. He took 19 wickets out of 20 wickets in Australia. It costs only 90 runs. This Test match is considered as an exceptional match in the history of cricket, which has not been broken till date.
4: Australia win 16 consecutive Tests
Australia is known as the superpower in the world of cricket. Although it is a bad time now, the Aussies have passed the golden age in cricket. They have won a record 17 consecutive Test matches twice in Test history.
The first was under the leadership of Steve Waugh in the period 1999-2001. The second was under Ricky Ponting in the 2005-2006 term. It will not be easy for any team to break this record.
5: Chaminda Vaas: 8/19 ODI international bowling figure
The best bowling record in the history of ODI cricket is held by left-arm Sri Lankan fast bowler Chaminda Bhas. He set the all-time best bowling record against Zimbabwe in 2001.
Chaminda Vaas is the only bowler to have taken six wickets in a match in ODI cricket so far. Meanwhile, in that match held in Colombo, Sri Lanka on December 6, 2001, Chaminda Vass bowled brilliantly and Zimbabwe were bowled out for just 36 runs, the lowest score in an ODI.
6. Graham Gooch: 456 runs in one Test
The incident took place in 1990. Former England captain Graham Alan Gooch has scored 458 runs in a Test against India at Lord's. He made 333 runs in the first innings of that match. Then get out. Gooch played a quick innings of 123 runs in a short time in the second innings. This is the highest run in a Test so far, which cricket experts say will not be easy to break.
7. Phil Simmons: Economy rate of 0.3 in ODIs
Against Pakistan in 1992, Carian all-rounder Phil Simmons bowled 10 overs at an economy rate of 0.3 in just 3 overs. His outstanding bowling performance is still recorded in the history of one-day internationals.
8. Chris Gayle: 30-ball T20 century
Chris Gayle has a record of unbeaten 175 run for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2013 IPL. His incredible run comes in just 30 balls. Since then, it has been the fastest century in the history of high-level cricket. Gayle broke New Zealand's Brandon McCullum's unbeaten record of 156 runs.
