5 eternal batting records

It is said that 'records are made to be broken'. But still, there are some which might never be broken.

Let's check such records.

5. Yuvraj Singh's 12-ball fifty

Yuvraj's 12-ball fifty against England at the T20 world cup 2007 is also the fastest half-century in any format. It has been 10 years already and his record is still safe, thus explains the gravity of the record. He brought his half-century off 12 balls, by mauling Stuart broad for 6 sixes in an over, which is also an international record. He is the first and the only batsman to do so in t20i, and only the second to do so in international cricket. To break the record, a batsman needs to score 50 runs in 11 balls at 454.54 strike rate, which means a batsman needs to go all guns blazing from the first ball itself, which is highly unlikely to happen.

4. Rohit Sharma's 264 runs in ODI

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma scored 264 runs in an ODI match against Srilanka in 2014, which is also the highest run scored by a batsman in an ODI. He faced 173 balls in his innings, which is also the most faced by a batsman in an inning. This record is also highly unlikely to be broken. Rohit is also the only batsman to score three double tons in an ODI. Given the change in fielding restrictions rule, it is less likely that any other batsman would break his record.

3. Brian Lara's 400 runs in a Test inning

Brian Lara

Brian Lara's record of scoring 400 runs in a test inning is one of such record which is deemed to be unbreakable. He scored this way back in 2004 against England and it has been untouched since then. With the team's approach of winning the test match, it is less likely that any batsman will be given that much time to score 401 runs at the cost of the test match.

2. Sachin Tendulkar's 100 hundreds

Sachin Tendulkar

There is no batting record without the association of the name "Sachin" with it. The "God of Cricket" has 100 centuries to his name across tests and ODIs. He has scored 51 hundred in tests and 49 in Odis. It is one of those records which is not likely to be broken any time soon. It would need a special effort from an extraordinary player to break his record.

1.Sir Don Bradman's average of 99.94

Sir Donald Bradman

Sir Bradman's astounding average of 99.94 is the most unbreakable record. He amassed 6996 runs in 52 test matches. Had he scored 4 runs in the last test, he would have finished his career with a sensational average of 100, but this was not to happen as he got out for a duck in his last test. He retired in the year 1948 and since then no other batsman has even reached near his record.
