Sachin's tally of 673 in 2003 still holds the record for most runs in a WC

#5 Most number of consecutive centuries - Kumar Sangakkara (4)

Oozing with class right from his younger days,Sangakkara's ability to pile up runs at ease was one of his trademarks that elevated him to the levels of the best batsmen in the world. It was evident in the 2015 World Cup when he became the first player ever to score four consecutive hundreds in ODI history.

The first hundred (105) came against Bangladesh when he, along with Tillakaratne Dilshan put on a record 210-run partnership. In the next game, his 117* helped Sri Lanka chase England's 309 with three overs to spare. He brought up his third consecutive hundred against Australia with a valiant 104 in a chase of 377.

His fourth hundred (124) ensured a quarterfinal berth for Sri Lanka and this record might be one of the toughest to break in a long time to come.
