ICC World Cup 2019: 4 World Cup records that will be difficult to break

#3 Most Number Of Runs In World Cups - Sachin Tendulkar (2278 Runs)

Across 6 editions of the World Cup, Tendulkar scored a colossal 2278 runs

Across six editions of the World Cup, India’s batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar scored a staggering 2278 runs, including six hundreds and 15 fifties, at an average of 56.95. Tendulkar is the only batsman in the history of World Cup cricket to score more than 2000 runs.

To understand the magnitude of this record held by Tendulkar, he leads his nearest competitor, Ponting by 535 runs. Among active players, Martin Guptill is the closest, having scored 809 runs for New Zealand, but he is nowhere even close to the Master Blaster.

#2 Most Number Of Fours In World Cups - Sachin Tendulkar (241 Fours)

Sachin Tendulkar is the only batsman to score more than 200 fours in World Cups

Tendulkar is the only batsman in World Cup history to score more than 200 fours. In the 45 matches that the Master Blaster played for India across six editions of the World Cup, he hit a mind-boggling 241 fours.

To put this record of Tendulkar into perspective, he leads his nearest competitor, Kumar Sangakkara by a colossal 94 fours. And, among active players, no batsman has scored more than 90 fours!

So, this record of Tendulkar too, will definitely stand the test of time.
