6 forgotten records in cricket which are simply unbelievable

#6 Ricky Ponting is the only player in history to feature in 100 Test wins

Ricky Ponting: An all time great

When you are Ricky Ponting, you really don't need any introduction in the world of cricket. Ponting was arguably the most successful Australian batsman in terms of runs and centuries scored. He scored more than 25000 International runs with a grand total of 70 centuries in all the 3 formats of the game.

Ponting was also the most successful One Day captain with 165 wins in 230 matches with a win percentage of 71.7. He also joined Clive Lloyd in an elite club to win two back-to-back ICC Cricket World Cups as a captain in 2003 and 2007. Any space is way too small to write about his cricketing achievements both as a player and as a captain.

What many are not aware of though is that Ponting is the only player in the history of Test cricket to feature in 100 Test wins and his 100th win came against Sri Lanka at Galle in 2011.

To add to this, he is also the only batsman to score a century in each innings in his 100th Test.There is no doubt that Ponting's favorite number was 100.

This is a very special achievement considering, how difficult it is to secure a win in Test match cricket.
