World Cup 2019: Five tournament records that are likely to be broken

#4 Highest individual score

Martin Guptill smashed 237* in the 2015 World Cup quarter-final

Presently, the proud holder of this record is New Zealand's Martin Guptill who dethroned Chris Gayle, courtesy of his belligerent knock against West Indies that saw him score 237 off 163 balls. The innings paved the way for Kiwis to reach the semi-finals as they trounced West Indies by 143 runs in that match.

There is a vast array of batsmen in this World Cup capable of breaking this record. The former holder, Gayle, is also plying his trade for West Indies in this World Cup. He hasn't shown any signs of age catching up with him and can still plunder any bowling lineup on a given day.

England also possess the likes of Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root - all of whom are more than able to supplant the New Zealand opener. Another threat could be the Indian veteran, Rohit Sharma, who has already got 3 double centuries to his name and holds the record for the highest score (264 vs Sri Lanka) in ODI format.
