Welcome to the fascinating realm of cricket, where reality often outshines fiction. In the world of bat and ball, there exists some statistics that defy belief, leaving fans and enthusiasts alike astounded.
Unreal cricket stats that, at first glance, may sound fabricated, yet hold the stamp of truth. From an astonishing 77 runs amassed in a single over to Morne Morkel’s peculiar record for the most Test wickets off a no-ball, these mind-boggling feats that make cricket an ever-engaging spectacle.
Let’s dive into the world of bizarre stats which are infact TRUE.
Joe Root Test Runs > Combined Runs of India XI in Vizag Test
Sachin Tendulkar’s Test runs more than the entire England team Test side would have been more plausable. But an Englishman having more Test runs than the current India Test XI playing in Vizag? Impossible (and hurtful!).
Joe Root has 11447 runs in Test cricket, while the current India XI, which is without Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Chestehwar Pujara, have combined 10702 runs.
But who tops the run chart amongst the current XI? We think you know.
The ‘RAJ’ of Mithali Raj
India’s most decorated women’s player, Mithali Raj, holds the distinction of being the only player with multiple first-class double centuries.
She is also the only Indian women’s player to score a first class double hundred as well as a T20 hundred.
Bowler’s WORST nightmare!
No it is not Virat Kohli! Well he is but not in this stat. We are talking about conceding runs, a lot of runs, we mean bucket load of runs! Wellington’s Bert Vance once conceded 77 runs in one over against Canterbury in the first-class game in New Zealand.
Talking about having a BAD day in the office.
Getting your heart broken by a team… twice!
Once bitten, twice shy but what when twice bitten?Fate orchestrated a cricketing masterpiece. In 1999, Services left fans on the edge of their seats, clinching a nail-biting one-run victory against Haryana. Fast forward to 2024, and lightning struck twice as Services, in a poetic twist, replicated the drama by once again outclassing Haryana with a razor-thin one-run margin.
