Cricket is a team sport, but an individual’s performance can sometimes help his team cross the finish line on his own.
Many individual records have been held by superstars of the game, making them household names in cricket.
Another record for Babar Azam 🔥

A runout is probably the worst way to dismiss a batter in cricket. This unwanted record is led by two former Pakistani captains.
In the 50-over format, both Inzamam-ul-Haq and Wasim Akram have been run out 38 times.

2. Most Ducks In Tests
Courtney Walsh, West Indian bowling legend holds two batting records:
1. Most number of not-outs in test cricket- 61.

Courtney Walsh tormented many batters with his blistering pace for the West Indies, taking over 500 Test wickets.
However, whenever he walked out to bat, he was on the receiving end as well, and he holds the record for most zero-run innings in the game’s longest format.
Walsh has been dismissed for nought 43 times; England’s Stuart Broad has 39 ducks to his name.
3. Most Bowled Dismissals In Tests

Rahul Dravid is one of the game’s all-time greats, having scored over 10,000 runs in Tests and ODIs for India.
Despite being known as the “Wall of Indian Batting Line-up,” Dravid has a rather embarrassing record of being bowled the most times in Test cricket.
Dravid has been bowled out in Test cricket 55 times, one more than his teammate and legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
4. Longest Over In ODIs

In that over, Sami bowled 17 balls, including seven wides and four no-balls.
5. Most Ducks In ODIs

Former Sri Lanka opening batter Sanath Jayasuriya holds the unenviable record of having the most ducks in one-day international cricket.
In 50-over cricket, Jayasuriya has been dismissed 34 times for naught.
