Cricket is a sport which is played between two teams of eleven players each who score runs (points) by running between two sets of three small, wooden posts called wickets. Cricket is played by more than 120 million players in many countries which makes it the world’s second most popular sport.
Cricket is most popular in England, Australia, Indian Subcontinent, South Africa, the West Indies and New Zealand. Recently countries such as Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ireland, Afghanistan, Netherlands, and Canada have become more successful as the sport becomes more popular.
Cricket has produced a number of great cricketers and matches. Cricket has been evolving itself and the records have been piling up since years.Lets have a look at some cricket records that are highly unlikely to be broken:
