World Cup Records

The Cricket World Cup is the pinnacle of the sport, with the best teams and players from around the world competing for the prestigious trophy. Over the years, the World Cup has witnessed some truly remarkable performances and record-breaking achievements, cementing its status as one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world.


One of the most impressive World Cup records is the most centuries scored in the tournament, which is currently held by Sachin Tendulkar of India, who scored an incredible 6 centuries during his World Cup career. Tendulkar's ability to perform under pressure and deliver consistent performances at the highest level is a testament to his greatness. Another notable World Cup record is the highest individual score in a World Cup match, which belongs to Martin Guptill of New Zealand, who scored a remarkable 237 not out against the West Indies in 2015.


In the bowling department, the record for the most wickets taken in a World Cup is held by Glenn McGrath of Australia, who claimed 71 scalps during his illustrious career. McGrath's ability to consistently hit the right areas and trouble batsmen with his accuracy and movement made him a formidable opponent in the World Cup. Another impressive bowling record is the best bowling figures in a World Cup match, which belongs to Chaminda Vaas of Sri Lanka, who took 6 wickets for just 25 runs against Bangladesh in 2003.
