World Cup records that might never be broken

1. Sachin Tendulkar's record of most runs Image Source : Getty

He scored 2278 runs in 44 innings at the World Cup and the closest active players to him are Shakib Al Hasan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli who need around 1000 runs still to go past Tendulkar. Image Source : Getty

2. Glenn McGrath's record of most wickets Image Source : Getty

He picked up a total of 71 wickets in his World Cup career. Mitchell Starc is closest to with 54 wickets and might not pick 17 scalps more in World Cup 2023. He will turn 37 in 2027 and is unlikely to stick around in ODI format until then. Image Source : Getty

The legendary Sri Lanka cricketer affected 54 dismissals from behind the wickets. Mushfiqur Rahim, with 30 dismissals, is closest to him and is unlikely to make an appearance in 2027. Image Source : Getty

4. Ricky Ponting's record to play most matches as captain Image Source : Getty

He led Australia in three World Cup editions and overall 29 matchs in the mega event. Kane Williamson from the current lot is the closest to him with 11 matches as captain for New Zealand. He will surely not be around for 2027 World Cup given his age currently. Image Source : Getty

The little master recorded 21 fifty-plus scores in his World Cup career. Closest to him are Shakib, Kohli and Rohit who need around 10-11 such scores to even level up with Sachin. Image Source : Getty
