Cricket and records have an old relationship. New records are made every day in the game of cricket and old records are broken. But some such strange records were also made in the game of cricket, about which people know very little. There are many cricket records that have not been broken for decades.
Record of getting out on the first ball of a test match
Former India batsman Sunil Gavaskar holds the record for most dismissals on the first ball of a Test match. Sunil Gavaskar got out on the first ball in Test three times during his cricket career and to date, his record has not been broken.
Started the innings with a six in the Test
So far in the history of Test cricket, this has happened only once when a batsman has opened the account by hitting a six on the first ball and the batsman who has done so is none other than the legendary West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle. He did this amazing in a match played against Bangladesh in 2012.
Most consecutive man of the match award
Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly is the only player in the history of cricket who has won the Man of the Match award the most number of times in ODIs.
Most wickets in a test match
This record is recorded in the name of England bowler Jim Laker, who took 19 wickets in a Test match. He took 9 wickets in the first innings and 10 wickets in the second innings.
