What are the most interesting cricket stats ever?

 While scrolling through my fb page, I came across this image:

Here are the stories behind these numbers, and surprisingly i knew all of them:

  • 400 not out- The highest test individual score , by Brian Charles Lara.
  • 200 not out- The first double hundred by the Superman from India, Sir Sachin Tendulkar
  • 175 not out- The highest t-20 score by the big fellow -Christopher Henry Gayle
  • 264- Highest one day international score by our very own Hitman-RoHit Sharma
  • 99.94 - Test average by Sir Donald Bradman
  • 319 - Highest test score by an Indian- Virendra Sehwag
  • 183- Highest one day score by successful captains of India - Ganguly , Dhoni and Kohli (When they were not captains of their side)
  • 10/74- Figures of Anil Kumble against Pakistan
  • 999 - Total number of Dismissals by Mark Boucher before he retired.

Truth, cricket is a very admired game here and these figures are very special for us. How many did you get correct?
