5 Unbreakable Records in Cricket History

There are some records in cricket which have not been broken in the last few years. The question in the minds of fans is whether these records will ever be broken. It is not easy for modern cricketers to break them. Be it God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar’s 100 international centuries or Brian Lara’s record of 400 runs in an innings. In this article, we will tell you about those records, which are called the great records of the cricket world. It is very difficult for any batter or bowler to break these records. Of course, Virat Kohli is getting closer to Sachin Tendulkar’s 100 international centuries, but he still has a long way to go to reach this milestone.

1st- Rohit Sharma’s 264 runs in single ODI innings

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has scored 3 double centuries in ODI International cricket. Rohit holds the world record for playing an innings of 264 runs in ODI International cricket. This unique record of Rohit does not seem to be broken in the near future. Rohit, famous as Hitman in world cricket, achieved this record against Sri Lanka.

Rohit Sharma opened the fourth ODI of the series against Sri Lanka at the historic Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata on 13 November 2014 and played an innings of 264 runs, which included 33 fours and 9 sixes. Rohit scored this score in 173 balls. He completed 200 runs in 151 balls and scored his first hundred in 100 balls. He reached the 150-mark in 125 balls and took 151 balls to score a double century.

2nd – Sachin Tendulkar’s 100 International Centuries

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, known as the God of Cricket, has set many records in his 24-year international cricket career but his record of 100 centuries in international cricket is still unbroken. It is not easy to break this record of Sachin.

While Virat Kohli has scored 76 centuries in international cricket, it is not easy for Kohli to break this record of Tendulkar. Sachin has scored 51 centuries in 200 Test matches, while he has 49 centuries in ODIs. Sachin has a record of 18426 runs in ODI international cricket, which is a world record.

3rd – Fastest ODI Hundred by AB de Villiers

Legendary South African batsman AB de Villiers, known as Mr. 360 degree, holds the world record of scoring a century in 31 balls in ODIs, which is almost impossible to break. De Villiers achieved this record in 2015 against Windies in Johannesburg. He scored 149 runs in 44 balls. This is the fastest century in One Day International cricket.

He has taken 13 wickets in 12 T20 matches. With this, he has 1347 international wickets to his name.

5th – Brian Lara’s 400 runs in a single Test innings

Legendary West Indies cricketer Brian Lara is one of the best batsmen in modern cricket. Once Lara was on the crease, it was difficult for the bowlers to get him out. The former left-handed Windies batsman, Lara holds a world record in Test cricket that is not easy for today’s batsmen to break.

Brian Lara played an innings of 400 runs against England in St. John’s in 2004, breaking the record of 380 runs held by legendary Australian opener Matthew Hayden, but this world record of Lara’s is unlikely to be broken.
