As you all know that cricket is a game of uncertainties. But every so often, many big records are made and broken in this game. There are not many records in cricket that no one has broken in years. Today we are going to tell you about 10 records of cricket that are almost impossible to break.
1. Jack Hobbs: 61760 runs in first-class cricket
The class that Sir Jack Hobbes of England displayed in his cricketing career by batting in first-class cricket is beyond the reach of any modern-day great. Even huge names like Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar couldn't make it to the list of top 10 batsmen who have scored the most runs in first-class cricket.
2. Jim Laker: 19 wickets in a Test
Anil Kumble equalled Jim Lekar's record of taking all 10 wickets in an innings, but no one has come close to the record of taking 19 wickets in the entire match. Test cricket is far away, even in first-class cricket it was amazing to reach 18 wickets almost 6 decades ago. So can we expect someone to match Jim Laker's record in Test cricket in our lifetime?
3. Phil Simmons: 3 runs in 10 overs
Economy of 0.3 in ODI cricket. Shocked after reading, but Phil Simmons of West Indies has done this feat against Pakistan 23 years ago. Simmons had given just 3 runs. And his entire spell of 10 overs consists of 4 wickets and 8 maidens.
4. Muttiah Muralitharan: 1347 batsmen hunted
In international cricket, only two bowlers crossed the 1000 wicket mark. First Muttiah Muralitharan and second Shane Warne. Murali took 1347 wickets, while Warne could not go beyond the figure of 1001. Far from breaking Murali's record, now no bowler even thinks of taking a thousand wickets in international cricket.
5. Sir Don Bradman: Batting average of 99.94
This record comes in the headlines on social media when Adam Voges or Steven Smith crosses the batting average of 60. But it is just wishful thinking that anyone who crosses 60 will surpass the 99.94 sets by Sir Don Bradman. Had he not been dismissed for zero, his average would have been in the three figures. But you know, cricket is a fun game
6. T.J. Matthews: The only Test 'Double hat-trick'
How difficult it is to take a hat-trick in Test cricket, it is known from the fact that so far only 44 bowlers have shown this feat. Australia's H Trumbull took hat-trick twice. Wasim Akram went one step further and took a hat-trick in two consecutive tests. But, Australia's T.J. Matthews not only took two hat-tricks in a single test, which is an amazing record in itself but more than that, his hat-trick, even in two different innings but on 1 day! Now only you tell me that no one can beat so many coincidences at once!
7. Wilfred Rhodes: Retires at the age of 52
Can anyone play at the age of 52 years, the answer is yes. Wilfred Rhodes topped the list of the oldest retired players by far. If you think Sachin's career is long, then Rhodes' career was even bigger than that. His cricket career lasted for 30 years. It is very difficult to play cricket till this age, and it is also very difficult to maintain your fitness for 52 years.
8. Graham Gooch: 456 runs in a Test
In the year 1990, Graham Gooch scored 333 runs in the first innings and 123 in the second innings against India in the Lord's Test match, called the Mecca of cricket. Thus he scored 456 runs in the match. Lara (400), Mark Taylor (426) and Sangakkara (424) came close but could not break the record.
9. Chris Gayle: Century in 30 balls
Chris Gayle made the fastest hundred of T20s in the IPL 8 years ago by hitting a century in just 30 balls. To break this record of Gayle, an average of more than three runs is required on each ball. In such a situation, it is very difficult to think about the breaking of this record.
10. Sachin Tendulkar: 18426 runs in ODI cricket
Breaking Sachin's record of scoring the most, 18426 runs in ODI cricket also seems impossible at the moment. Other batsmen who come after Sachin Tendulkar in this list retired from ODI cricket. And current generation players are not even close in terms of breaking Sachin's record.
good one
