#2 Most World Cup appearances - Sachin Tendulkar and Javed Miandad

Javed Miandad was termed as Pakistan's best and was one of the greatest cricketers according to many cricket pundits. The former Pakistani captain was always known for his unconventional style of batting and captaincy, serving the Pakistani cricket proudly for 21 years (1975-96).

Miandad's vital contribution during the 1992 World Cup (437 runs) helped Pakistan clinch their only World Cup triumph. In 1996, he played his last World Cup and hence created a record of 6 World Cup appearances.

Sachin joined this elite list when he played in the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Even a supreme fit Virat Kohli would be 38-years old while playing his 5th World cup, and thus the record seems to be invincible thus far.

#1 Unbeaten Streak - Australia

ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 Final - Australia v Sri Lanka

The term 'Invincible' was synonymous with the Australian cricket team between 1999-2007. They dominated the world cricket with numerous victories in home and away conditions with their never-say-die attitude. With 3 consecutive World Cups in their kitty during this term, they dominated in World Cups too.

During 1999-2011, the Australian team had an unbeaten streak of 34 matches (shocking right?) in 4 World Cup campaigns. In those 34 matches, they had won 32 matches with 1 tie and 1 No Result.

The streak which started in 1999 eventually ended in 2011 when the Aussies lost in a group match against Pakistan. Nowadays, with teams being equally competitive, it will be a mammoth task for any international team to surpass such an invincible record.
