Best Amazing Cricket Facts That Will Blow Your Mind

Cricket is known as a gentleman’s game and is considered one of the most prestigious games in the world. It is cricket that has one of the biggest followings, probably second only to football (soccer). We bring you some of the interesting cricket facts in a game filled with a rich history of interesting, funny and amazing incidents throughout this game. It is impossible to live in India without being affected by the wave of love of cricket. As we discussed once, if we were to divide our nation in two, it would be on the basis of those who love cricket and those who love cricket.

 

Even uninterested people like me, who don’t care about any sports, would be recorded in front of the TV screen at any India-Pakistan or World Cup where India participates. While there are millions of die-hard fans out there, not many can claim to know everything there is to know about cricket in India. For this reason, we have decided to list some of the fascinating facts about Indian cricket without exclusively focusing on the latest cricket in India today.

 

Virat Kohli is the only bowler to wicket the 0 ball of his career in T20I.

Kumar Sangakkara, a former captain and cricketer from Sri Lanka, set a record in 2015 that has yet to be broken. And in doing so, he made an incredible ICC World Cup fact that people should know. At the 2015 ICC World Cup, he was the only cricketer in the world to score four centuries in a row. His first century came against Bangladesh, where he scored 105, then against England with 117 unbeaten goals, against Australia with 104 and finally against Scotland 124.

As well as holding the record for hitting 100 hundred internationals, Sachin Tendulkar has been caught the most times (27) in international cricket in the 90s, 17 times in one day and 10 times in Test cricket.

James Anderson has always been in the spotlight for his deadly bowling and playing on batsman nerves, but he held the highly unlikely and awkward record as a batsman. He holds the record for the most no-outs (78) in Test cricket.

Ireland is the only team to have scored more than 300 points three times in World Cup history. Before you call her a loser, be careful. They achieved the feat in 2011 against the Netherlands, 2011 against England and 2015 against the West Indies.

Sachin Tendulkar played for Pakistan before playing for India. In 1987, Sachin left as a substitute outfielder for Pakistan during a training match between India and Pakistan at CCI-Brabourne Stadium. And so you can say that Tendulkar played for Pakistan before he played for India.

Adam Gilchrist holds the record for the most consecutive tests just after his debut. Gilchrist made his test international debut on November 5, 1999 and played 96 test matches between November 5, 1999 and January 24, 2008 without losing a single one.

Vinod Kambli’s test match average is better than Sachin Tendulkar’s. Vinod Kambli has played 17 test matches for India, including two consecutive doubles, and has a test average of 54.20, better than his childhood friend Sachin Tendulkar (53.78 test average of 200 tests) .

A test game is played over five days and each team bats two innings, making a total of four innings in the game. The number of balls you can find is not fixed and you can hit all five days if you want. But when the world first saw all four entries on the same day, in the 2000 Lord’s Test between England and the West Indies, it was thought impossible to repeat. However, in 2011 it happened again in Cape Town between Australia and South Africa.

Dinesh Karthik is the first Indian to win a MoM award in a T20I match. On December 1, 2006, India won their first T20I against South Africa. Dinesh Karthik hit unbeaten runs from 28 balls and 31 runs to become the man of the match.

In 1990, during a match between Canterbury and Christchurch in the Shell Trophy, New Zealand’s Wellington gave away 77 runs to RH Vance in a single over. Vance hit complete shots, no balls and lots of weird deliveries and the over went like this: 0 4 4 4 6 6 4 6 1 4 1 0 6 6 6 6 6 0 0 4 0 1.

The only batsman not to go out for 299 in the history of this game is Sir Don Bradman, the cricket legend. Had he chosen to complete this single, Sir Don Bradman would have been the first in the world to score three hundred points in a Test Match. However, he was the second man to score three hundred in Test Cricket. Talk about an unknown fact in cricket. The first person was Andy Sandham.

Bapu Nadkarni, who played for India, holds the record for the most consecutive maid overs. When India played England in 1964, he bowled 21 maiden overs in a row.

Sir Vivian Richards is the only cricketer, and indeed the only man in the world, to have competed in both the World Cup of cricket and the World Cup of football. In 1974 he played in the Antiguan World Cup qualifiers and in 1975 and 1979 he was the West Indies Cricket World Cup team.

Eoin Morgan is the only player who publicly admits that he never sang the national anthem before the game started. He said: “I have never sung the national anthem when I have played for Ireland or England.

In a test match played between Sri Lanka and the West Indies in 2001, another story was made and certainly another interesting cricket fact. It took 3 bowlers that day to complete 1 single. The over, started by Dillon, rolled only 2 balls before experiencing sudden pain that forced him to stop. Colin Stuart, then captain of the West Indies side, took command but was dismissed by referee John Hampshire after throwing two consecutive full pitches above the waist. Finally, the last 3 balls were thrown by Chris Gayle.

In the 132-year history of Australia Cricket, David Warner is the only player who has not played a single first-class cricket match and yet has played international matches for Australia in every format of the game. This also makes him the only Australian captain to have achieved this feat.

The only Indian player to have scored three centuries in his first three friendlies is Mohammed Azharuddin, the former Indian captain.

Narendra Hirwani holds the record for the all-time best figures in the bowling event on his debut. By eliminating 16 of 136 wickets in his debut, he surpassed the previous record of 16 of 137 wickets held by Bob Messi.

Nolan Clarke proved him right when he played for the Netherlands in the World Cup at the age of 47 years and 257 days, the oldest age for a cricketer to play in the World Cup.
