Which records in cricket are unlikely to be broken ever?

 Though records are made to be broken, here are a few records that are unlikely to be broken,

1.Muttiah Muralitharan - The Spin King

He has taken 1347 wickets across all international formats (Test 800 + ODI 534 + T20I 13) which is definitely not possible for any other bowler to even get close to his achievement.

The celebration after scalping the 800th test wicket in the last ball of his last test match. He was wicket-less for 23 overs before reaching this milestone against India in Galle.

2. Rahul Dravid - The Wall

Test cricket is all about facing as many balls as possible and making the opponent bowlers tired, along with getting the much required runs. He is the masterclass in doing that, and he’d faced as many as 31258 balls in his test career which is unlikely to be broken ever.

(PS - I’ve seen in an other answer that he’s spent the most time during batting but the writer had missed or not intended to point out the number of balls faced by this legend)

3. Sachin Tendulkar - Master Blaster

We’ve spoken a lot about his 100 international centuries, 34357 intl.runs, etc. but did anyone notice the number of balls faced by him? I don’t think so. So here’s the stat which says he had faced 50816 deliveries in his entire intl. career, which is another record not gonna be broken anytime.

4. Rohit Sharma - Hitman

Though it has become a routine for most batsmen around the globe to get a century in ODIs, it isn’t the same in scoring a double century. This man had got to his 200 not once but thrice, scoring 209,264 and 208* against Australia and Sri Lanka respectively. The credits for this unlikely to be broken record goes to his hardwork, talent and luck.
