What are some mind-blowing facts about cricket?

 Saurav Ganguly is the only Indian player to score a century in the knock out stages of a World Cup. ( Rohit Sharma also joins him)

Sachin + Zaheer = (Almost) Kallis

The player with the most number of not outs in Test cricket is Courtney Walsh.

Wasim Akram: Batsman to have hit most number of sixes in a Test innings

Ricky ponting: Only player to have scored a century in both innings of his 100th Test match

Wasim Akram also has his highest Test innings score of 257, which is higher than Sachin Tendulkar’s highest Test score of 248*.

Kapil Dev be the fittest of them all.

Kapil Dev did not miss a single match during his career of 16 years because of an injury. He was also never run out during the 184 innings. He is only closely rivaled by South African AB De Villiers who has not missed a match during his career of close to 10 years. Fittest people of their era!
