The Cricket World Cup is a men’s cricket One Day International (ODI) competition. The International Cricket Council is in charge of organising the competition known as the Cricket World Cup, which is held every four years (ICC). Despite the fact that the ICC indicated a desire to alter the format in reaction to criticism of the 2007 World Cup, more teams and matches have been added since then.
Sachin Tendulkar, an Indian hitter, holds several distinct World Cup records. Tendulkar has compiled more scores of fifty or more and runs in a World Cup than any other player, making him one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1997 and “the most followed cricketer in the world.” The individual bowling records belong to Australia’s Glenn McGrath, who has played in four World Cups for his country. He has the highest strike rate, lowest economy rate, and best individual bowling statistics of any bowler in the competition’s history.
One Tournament:
| Record | First | Second | Ref(s) | ||||
| Most wickets in a tournament | Mitchell Starc | 27 (10 matches) | 2019 | Glenn McGrath | 26 (11 matches) | 2007 | [63] |
Mitchell Starc
Starc came after Johnson in order of appearance. For more than ten years, left-armer Mitchell has been a cornerstone of Australia’s offence, and it appears like he will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Johnson was more blunt, but Starc has greater swing control than his former teammate and is still quick enough to make life difficult for opposition batters thanks to the bounce he gets from his 1.96m height. Johnson was also more aggressive. It was never more obvious than during the 2015 World Cup, when Starc periodically rendered himself unplayable by rattling stumps and trapping batters in front of the ball over the course of the match. It is hardly surprising that he was chosen as the Tournament’s Player of the Tournament given his 22 victims at 10.18. In the following four years, he would take 27 wickets, when England’s semi-final victory over Australia put an end to Australia’s World Cup defence.
Glenn McGrath
Mike Whitney described the young Glenn McGrath as “thin,” but “Ambrose-thin” rather than “Bruce Reid-thin”. Much later, Mike Atherton compared McGrath and Ambrose in further detail. The greatest Australian fast bowler of all time, McGrath was catapulted into Test cricket from the New South Wales outback to follow Merv Hughes in 1993. The only person who disputes his claim to be Australia’s best fast bowler is Dennis Lillee, who went on to exceed Courtney Walsh’s 519 wickets in the 2005 Super Test to capture the fastest bowler wickets.
There were similar fears after an ankle operation in 2004 and a significant absence to care for his father, but he penned his own farewells. His obituary was published a few times. wife after two years. He retired from Tests at the SCG, his home stadium, after Australia’s 5-0 demolition of England in the 2006–07 Ashes. In 2007, his final one-day appearance, he was named Man of the Tournament after Australia’s successful World Cup campaign.
