Chris Gayle made the fastest hundred of T20 by hitting a century in 30 balls in IPL just 7 years ago. To break this record of Gayle, an average of more than three runs is required on every ball. In such a situation, it is very difficult to even think about breaking this record.
If you bowl out ten overs in a one-day international, the yardstick for a good performance is to finish with an economy rate of fewer than four runs per over (that’s under 40 runs conceded).
Former English Captain Smashed 333 Runs in 1st innings against India at the Lords. In the 2nd inning, he also smashed quick 123 runs in 113 balls. He scored 456 runs in this match, as no one achieved that milestone, and it looks like an unbeatable record.
Srilankan left-arm pacer Chaminda Vaas Bagged up 8 Zimbabwean Wicket for Just 19 Runs. And became the only bowler in the history of the game to take 8 wickets in a one-day international match. Someone in the future could take more than eight wickets, but to do so would be miraculous given the batsman-centric nature of ODIs.
English off-spinner Jim Laker missed only one of 20 wickets when he took 19 wickets for 90 runs against Australia at Old Trafford in 1956. He took 10 wickets in the first innings and 9 wickets in the 2nd. Ten wickets in a Test inning have been repeated by Anil Kumble, did it in 1999 against Pakistan, but 19 in a match?
One of the greatest spin bowlers of all time, Murali, was only 20 when he first bowled for Sri Lanka. Soon proved effective as he baffled batsmen around the world.
