In the sport of cricket, numerous records are frequently broken. The game is difficult, distinctive, and unites people from all over the world. Many numbers are rewritten, and anything is possible at any time. Some records, nevertheless, might be more difficult to top than any other. et us look at the most shocking cricket records.

1. Oldest Test Cricketer

At the ripe old age of 52 years and 165 days, the renowned English all-rounder Wilfred Rhodes, who famously began at the bottom of England's batting order and concluded as the opener, is the oldest man to ever play Test cricket. This record will not be surpassed in the modern day because players are frequently done competing by their mid-thirties. The two more first-class records Rhodes holds—the most first-class games played (1,110) and the most first-class wickets taken—are not expected to be surpassed (over 4,000).

2. Highest Career Batting Average

The tale of Sir Don Bradman's final inning in cricket is legendary. The Australian icon finished with a spectacular Test average of over 100 runs, needing just four runs to do so after a fruitful career. He was bowled for a duck and scored 99.94, which is by far the best score ever made, albeit being a small numerical letdown.

3. 50+ Runs In Three World Cup Finals

Reaching the World Cup Final is a feat in and of itself, but being a batsman with three consecutive 50+ scores is another record. It goes to Adam Gilchrist because it will be difficult to top his two fifty-sixes and century in three finals.

4. Most International Wickets

Given the typical length of time an international cricketer spends at the top, Muttiah Muralitharan's amazing career wicket total nearly seems impossibly high. The spinner terrorized batters for an entire 20 years, taking 1,347 victims—800 in Test matches and 547 in white-ball competitions. It will take some career to even come close to this tally given that Murali is still 346 wickets ahead of Shane Warne, his closest contemporary.

5. Lowest ODI Economy Rates

Phil Simmons' Test career did not do the gifted all-rounder justice, but thanks to his remarkable return in an ODI against Pakistan in 1992, the West Indian's name is set to live on forever. The Trinidadian managed to complete his entire 10-over stint, which produced four wickets but amazingly only cost three runs. In this T20-inspired era of extremely aggressive hitting, Simmons' insane economy rate of 0.30 will undoubtedly never be surpassed.

6. 199 First-Class Centuries

The record for the most hundreds in first-class cricket is held by Jack Hobbs, who amassed an astonishing 199 runs overall. Sachin Tendulkar now holds the record for the most centuries in international cricket. Sachin Tendulkar is also regarded as the God of cricket.

7. 19 Wickets In One Match

The record for getting the most wickets in a single game belongs to Jim Laker. Against Australia, the Englishman took a total of 19 wickets, a record that has yet to be broken. This will be an almost impossible record to break.

8. Shortest Ever Test Match

If you had purchased tickets for the fifth day of the 1932 Test match between Australia and South Africa in Melbourne, you would have been let down. And the fifth, third, and even second day for that matter, as the dangerous wicket caused the action to end in just five hours and 53 minutes. With Bert Ironmonger's 11 for 24, South Africa was defeated by Australia's enormous 153-point total after being removed for 36 and 45. Nowadays, the game would have most certainly been canceled.

9. Highest Score By A Nightwatchman

In their 2006 Test match, Australia's nightwatchman Jason Gillespie clocked an amazing undefeated 201. Although "Dizzy" had a solid career-ending average of 19.59, it will be difficult to equal this virtually amazing performance in Chittagong. Considering that a nightwatchman's main responsibility is to sit in the crease for a few overs at the end of the day.

10. A Century In 3 Overs

The renowned all-time great batsman Sir Don Bradman once completed a century in just three overs. In one of the overs, there were 8 balls, and after 18 minutes, he had scored a century.
