Unbreakable Test Cricket Records
- Sir Don Bradman’s Test Average (99.94): Bradman's career average is nearly double that of any other player with at least 50 innings.
- Muttiah Muralitharan’s 800 Test Wickets: The highest in Test history, requiring immense longevity and form that is difficult to replicate, especially in the modern era with fewer long Test series.
- Jim Laker’s 19 Wickets in a Test Match: In 1956, Laker took 19 wickets for 90 runs against Australia. The feat of taking 19 out of 20 wickets in a game is unlikely to be repeated.
- Brian Lara’s 400 not out: The highest individual Test score, set in 2004, remains untouched. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Unbreakable ODI and International Records [1]
- Sachin Tendulkar’s 100 International Centuries: Tendulkar scored 51 in Tests and 49 in ODIs over a 24-year career.
- Rohit Sharma’s 264 in an ODI Innings: Set against Sri Lanka in 2014, this is the highest score in a single ODI innings, often considered too high for modern, competitive matches.
- Chaminda Vaas’ 9 for 19 in an ODI: The best bowling figures in an ODI, achieved against Zimbabwe in 2001.
- Shahid Afridi’s 351 ODI Sixes: A record for the most sixes in ODI cricket history. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Other Potentially Unbreakable Records
- Fastest Hundred (AB de Villiers - 31 balls): Set in 2015, this record for the fastest ODI century is remarkably fast.
- Fastest Ball (Shoaib Akhtar - 161.3 kph): Clocked in at 161.3 kph in 2003, it remains the fastest delivery in cricket history.
- Most Consecutive ODI World Cup Wins (Australia - 3 titles): Australia won in 1999, 2003, and 2007. [1, 2, 3]
