Who holds the worst record in cricket which is unbeaten till now?

 

1. . Most ducks in ODIs:

Undoubtedly, playing against Sanath Jayasuriya in the mid-90s was nothing less than a nightmare for most bowlers. But while Jayasuria holds the record for one the fastest ODI 50 on just 17 balls, this is not his only record. He also has the record for most ducks, 34, in ODIs to his name. Surprisingly, the man next to him is Shahid Afridi, who scored the fastest ODI century on just 37 balls, with 30 ducks. The third in the row is legendary, Wasim Akram, with 28 ducks.

2. Most ducks in Test cricket:

Guess, who is Jayasuriya’s counterpart in Test cricket? Yes, the man with more than 500 Test wickets under his belt; former West Indian pacer Courtney Walsh was bowled 43 times on duck in 185 Test innings. Chris Martin of New Zealand is second with 36 ducks and the great Australian bowler, Glenn McGrath, is third in the row with 35 ducks in 138 innings.

3. Most expensive over in test cricket:

Though Anderson could not inflict any real damage to the Australian batting line, he remained successful at bowling the most expensive over of Test cricket history, when George Bailey scored 28 runs in Perth against him. Robin Peterson of South Africa shares the record with Anderson.

4. Golden duck in century tests:

Playing a 100 Test matches is itself a milestone but making the century Test memorable is exceptional. English skipper Alastair Cook is the only batsman of this special club with a golden duck in his 100th Test. Surprisingly, in his 99 previous Tests, Cook was never out on the first ball. But, in the second inning of his 100th Test played at Perth, he collected his first ever golden duck.

5. Lowest run score in T20I

The cricket team of Netherlands does not have many fond memories from 2014 T20 World cup. The team has also recorded the lowest team score in the same World-cup against Sri Lankan Team. In the match, the entire Netherland team surrendered at the score of 39 in just 10.3 overs. The Sri Lankan team had won this match just in 5 overs.

6. Maximum number of ducks in a T20I

Even though the explosive Sri Lankan batter Tillakaratne Dilshan is the third highest run-getter in the history of T20I, yet there is an embarrassing record of the cricketer that he would like to erase from the history of the cricket. Dilshan holds the record of the maximum number of ducks in T20I, the cricketer has gotten ducks at the 10 times.

7. Maximum number of extra runs in a T20I match

This unique and most embarrassing record was recorded in the first match of 2007 World T20, the match was played between West Indies and South Africa. In this match, while South Africa have just delivered 17 extras, the Windies team had delivered 28 extras. If one will sum-up then in this particular match 35 wides were thrown and the match also holds the world record for most wides in a match along with two no balls and eight leg byes.

Which cricket record is unbroken?

 Records are said to be broken but there are few records which are at least 25-30 years old and still unbroken. I am knowingly mentioning these records because the records set in ‘last 3 decades’ are more or less known to millennial including me:

1. Most runs in a test match

Graham Gooch scoring 333 in 1st innings and 123 in second innings of the test match against India in 1990 at mecca of Cricket- Lord’s. Thus he scored 456 runs in the match.

Lara (400), Mark Taylor(426) and Sangakarra (424) came closer but could not break this record.

2. Most runs in a Test series

Sir Don Bradman pipped Wally Hammond from the top seat in 1930 when he scored 974 runs in the Ashes. Recently, Steven Smith played 1 test less and scored 774 runs. But even if he had played that test match scoring another 200 runs was an unbelievable deal.

3. Most runs made by batsman in a day

Ashes, 1930 must be a memorabilia for Sir Don Bradman who scored 309 in a day’s play. In my memory, only Virender Sehwag who scored 284, 257, 228 in a day could have done the undoable.

4. Most runs in an series by a captain

Sir Don Bradman must have been the undisputed king of records. Here, in Ashes 1936 he scored 810 runs in as many as 5 test matches. In the last 20 years, only Graeme Smith (714), Steven Smith (687) and Virat Kohli (655) could be called competing for this record but they are remotely closer to Don.

5. Most runs in a series by a wicket-keeper

Who could have been holding this record? Sangakkara? Gilchrist? Boucher? Dhoni? No!

This record was set by, South African wicket-keeper, Denis Lindsay in 1966 in a series against Australia when he scored 606 runs in a 5-test matches series. Alas! his career lasted for just 19 tests.

Andy Flower made 540 runs in a 2 test match series against India. He could have surely overthrown Lindsay’s number but ICC’s test match planning as usual has been contentious.

6. Highest Test Career Batting Average

This record does rounds in Social Media when a Adam Voges or Steven Smith crosses batting average of 60. But this remain a wishful thinking that anyone who crosses 60 will also cross 99.94 set by Sir Don Bradman.

Had he been not dismissed for a duck his average would be in three figures. But you know cricket is a funny game :)

7. Most runs in debut match

You go to field for the first time and score a double hundred and a ton again in the same fixture. You must be Lawrence George Rowe from the Caribbean island. Rowe scored 314 runs (214–1st Innings & 100*- 2nd innings) on his debut in 1972

8. Most double hundreds in a career

This answer perhaps is dedicated to Don Bradman. He has scored 12 double hundred(s) in his career. Kumar Sangakkara came very close with 11. Right now, Virat Kohli, the Indian run machine is looking conditioned to be in this race with 7 doubles to his tally.

9. Youngest Player to score a double hundred

The dynamic Javed Miandad scored his first double hundred when he was 19 years 140 days old. Too young for a double, I reckon. He scored 163 in his debut match and the double hundred came in third match against New Zealand at Karachi. He must have been a sensation in Pakistan back then.

10. Best bowling figures in a match

They tell you that Anil Kumble emulated Jim Laker’s 10 wicket haul in an inning. But did they tell that Laker also took 9 wickets in the first innings of the match against Australia in 1956. He is accountable of a total of 19 wickets in a test match. His match stats were:

68.0- 27- 90- 19. Phenomenal!

Which records in cricket are unlikely to be broken ever?

 Here are few records which are unlikely to be broken in the near future

1.Rahul Dravid: Most balls faced in a Test career: 31,258

2. Sir Donald Bradman’s Test average: 99.94

3. Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels partnership of 372 highest for any wicket in ODI.

4. Muttiah Muralitharan’s 800 Test wickets

5. Sri Lanka’s 952/6, still the highest score in Test cricket

8. Brian Lara’s highest scores: 400*

9. Most Test matches: Sachin Tendulkar (200)

10. Muttiah Muralitharan’s 800 Test wickets

11. Don Bradman 974 runs in a test series

12. Phil Summons economy rate of 0.3 runs per over in ODI

13. Mark Boucher 999 dismissals as a wicket keeper.

14. Sunil Narine’s Maiden T20 Super Over

15. Jim Laker’s 19 wickets in a Test Match.

Hope you like the Information.

Which records in cricket are unlikely to be broken ever?

 My top 5

1. Let me start with the world cup hero Yuvraj Singh.
   He scored 50 off from just 12 deliveries against England. Its been a decade still the record set by him stands tall.

2. Graeme Smith Proteas former skipper. Not just the record of captaining the team for more than 100 matches but also his winning record as a captain. One of the greatest skipper of South Africa.

3. Sri Lankan team for scoring highest runs in a test match. Recent days most of the test matches last for 3 to 4 days its difficult to see high scoring innings like this in test matches. This record will remain undisturbed.

4. Mark Boucher probably the greatest wicket keeper in cricket history. He has 998 dismissals and 1 wicket to his name. No one is close enough to break this record as of now.

5. My list would be incomplete without including this awesome player. Ab de Viliers he has scored 25 centuries so far as of (Feb 2018). With all the centuries at the strike rate of above 100 is something special by this man.

Which Bollywood movies have made it to the Guinness Book of World Records, and what unique achievements did they have?

 The World record held by Bollywood films include -

Yaadein (1964)- Guiness book of record for least number of characters in a film. The film only features one actor throughout its runtime. Only Sunil Dutt features in the film as he remembers his life. In the end we see shadow of a woman (played by Nargis) but there is no other character in the film.

Bahubali (2015) had the record of having the largest poster of size of 4793 metre square which was equal to 12 tennis stadiums. It broke the record previously held by a Turkish film.

Actor Prem Nazir of Malyalam Cinema has multiple world records to his name. He has acted in most number of films in a year (30 films in 1973 and 77), most number of films as a lead actor (720), most number of films with a single actress (130 films with Sheela).

During the promotions of the film Selfiee Akshay Kumar created a Guinness World record of clicking the most number of selfies in 3 minutes. He clicked 184 selfies which broke the earlier record of 168 selfies

Abhishek Bachchan made the World record of attending 13 promotional events in 12 hours while promoting his film Delhi 6 which broke the record of Will Smith with a huge margin.

The Odia film of 1984 Basanta Raga has the record of most songs in a film with 81 songs. The previous record also belonged to India with Indradabha having 76 songs.
