Rohit Sharma smashed five centuries in the 2019 World Cup in Great Britain. His record will probably never be broken.
Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara scored four consecutive centuries during the 2015 ODI World Cup in Australia. This feat is so rare that only two batsmen have achieved it in ODI history.
Lasith Malinga is the only bowler to dismiss four batsmen in four consecutive balls in ODI World Cup history. His feat seems almost invincible.
Sachin Tendulkar scored 673 runs in the 2003 ODI World Cup. Matthew Hayden and Rohit Sharma came close to breaking the record but fell short, scoring 659 and 648 runs in 2007 and 2019 respectively.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2023
Between 1999 and 2011, Australia had a 34-match unbeaten streak. They won 32, drew one, and had one match suspended.
Kapil Dev was just 24 years old when he led India to the 1983 World Cup title. He is still the youngest captain to win the coveted trophy.

Virat Kohli Hits Record Ton As India Beat New Zealand To Reach World Cup Final
Even before the tournament reaches halfway, it is the first Cricket World Cup since 1992 in which every team has won at least one match.
Mitchell Starc, the leading wicket-taker in the 2015 and 2019 tournaments, has become a titan of late and has made an equally strong start in his third Cricket World Cup.
With 22 wickets in 2015 at 10.18 and an economy of 3.50, equal to the best of Trent Boult, Starc went straight to the top four years later with 27 wickets, six ahead of the next best bowler and achieving the feat without even reaching Australia to the final.
With six overs to spare, Starc broke the record of 50 wickets from Lasith Malinga after dismissing India opener Ishan Kishan for a golden duck in Australia’s first match of the 2023 tournament.

Sri Lankan fast bowler Malinga needed 25 innings to take 50 wickets in the Cricket World Cup, while fellow Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath and Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan were the runners-up who achieved the 30-run mark.
Several players threatened Kevin O’Brien’s 50-ball score on Bangalore’s famous 2011 night against England, although it took 12 years and a return to India to break the fastest record.
South Africa batsman Aiden Markram hit the fastest ton in the history of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup to seal victory over Sri Lanka
On a night when almost everyone lined up for the Proteas against Sri Lanka, Aiden Markram shone the brightest. Hitting 14 fours after searching the gaps and three sixes to seal the point, Sri Lanka had no reply and Markram extended his record with a single ball.
Proteas Consign Australia To Record World Cup Defeat
In a tournament where a dozen centuries have been recorded in 10 matches, the prospect of Markram maintaining the record until the end of the tournament in 2023 is by no means guaranteed.
Rohit Sharma and Kusal Mendis have already scored 63 and 65 ball centuries in the 2023 Cricket World Cup and the tournament is delivering high scores even when the pitches slow down.
Markram headlined his match, although it would be wrong to underestimate the Proteas batting engine room, which provided its menacing power by scoring an unprecedented 428 in the world tournament.
After a measured opening 10 overs, the Proteas moved with seven overs from overs 11 to 20 before scoring 88 runs from overs 21-30. Incredibly, the team scored 137 runs in their last 10-over blitz.

Rassie van der Dussen and Quinton de Kock joined Markram as centurions in demolishing Sri Lanka’s bowling attack, marking just the fourth time in ODIs (and first time in the Cricket World Cup) that there were three saves on the team’s batting scorecard centuries on it.
The boundaries of 107 in both innings were the highest in a World Cup match and it was the highest total in a men’s ODI World Cup match, surpassing the 714 runs in the match between Australia and Bangladesh at Nottingham in 2019.
Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique scored world-class centuries to propel Pakistan to their biggest ever successful run in the history of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup to defeat Sri Lanka after a stunning performance in Hyderabad.

Composed at 37/2 after the loss of Babar Azam, Shafique’s composure and Rizwan’s presence built a solid platform, combining power and touch to finish 176 with relative ease.

Shafique eventually fell for 113 (103), although Rizwan (131* off 121) prevailed thanks to a mighty 22* (10) from Iftikhar Ahmed to chase down the target with 10 balls to spare.
The record-breakers never stood a chance against Rohit Sharma as he led his team to a comfortable victory over Afghanistan in Delhi.

Rohit scored 131 off just 84 balls as his team passed Afghanistan’s 272 and eventually won with 90 balls to spare.
In his trademark mix of daring and poise, the captain hit 16 fours and five sixes to completely dictate the terms at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. After suffering a stroke, he surpassed compatriot Sachin Tendulkar with seven Cricket World Cup centuries.
Incredibly, Rohit achieved the record in just 19 innings and in just three World Cup campaigns, compared to Tendulkar’s 44 innings.

However, it will be difficult to match Tendulkar’s record for most runs in the Cricket World Cup of 2278 at an average of 56.95, although Rohit boasts of a brilliant average of 65.23, which is also the highest among players who have scored four figures in tournaments.
Rohit’s five sixes in Delhi took him to 556 sixes in three formats of international cricket, surpassing the previous record holder in the category, Chris Gayle.
Rohit managed to get past the West Indies opener in almost 80 less runs across three formats (472).

Go to World Cup Records That May Never Be Broken
Any captain who wins the toss against South Africa should think twice before sending his opponent into the attack.
South Africa crossed the 300-mark for the sixth consecutive time, batting first in ODIs, scoring 399 runs against England. In total, this was the highest total that England had conceded in an ODI, while also being the sixth highest total of any team in a Cricket World Cup match.
While South Africa’s top order stood out early in this tournament, it was Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen who did the damage for England by scoring the highest 6-wicket or under partnership for South Africa in ODIs of 151 runs.
The defending champions were no match for South Africa’s hard hitting and their strike rate dropped to 84/7 before losing their last wicket for 170. The 229-run drubbing remained the biggest defeat that England suffered in terms of runs in any ODI.

Australia fell even further behind the early leaders, losing back-to-back matches to start their Cricket World Cup campaign for the first time since 1992.
South Africa’s emphatic 132-run triumph in the second of these matches was also the heaviest defeat Australia has ever suffered in terms of runs in the Men’s Cricket World Cup.
