#6 Mohammed Shami becomes 4th highest Indian wicket-taker in a single edition of the World Cup

With the wicket of Soumya Sarkar, Mohammed Shami became the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing edition of the World Cup. The 25-year-old has now picked up 17 wickets in 7 matches so far and is now fourth in the list of most number of wickets taken by an Indian in a single edition of the competition.

He has equalled Madan Lal, who took 17 scalps in the 1983 edition of the tournament.

No.	Player	Number of wickets	Edition
1	Zaheer Khan	21	2011
2	Zaheer Khan	18	2003
3	Roger Binny	18	1983
4	Mohammad Shami	17*	2015
5	Madan Lal	17	1983

Also, with 87 ODI wickets, Shami has the joint highest number of scalps after 46 matches. He shares the record with former New Zeland fast bowler Shane Bond.

#7 India have bowled out the opposition on all 7 occasions in the World Cup

The Indian bowling unit, led by Mohammed Shami, has been in outstanding form in the World Cup so far, picking up all 10 wickets in each of the 7 matches of the World Cup so far. They are the only side in the tournament to achieve this feat, which is extraordinary considering the form the bowlers were in coming into the tournament. New Zealand, meanwhile, have bowled out the opposition on 5 out of the 6 occasions.

Dismissing an opposition 7 times on the trot in ODI cricket is an Indian record by a fair distance, with the previous best being no more than 4.

#8 Most number of hundreds in a single World Cup venue

Rohit Sharma’s hundred is the seventh three-figure score made at the MCG in the history of World Cups. This is now a new record for the most number of tons scored in a single venue in the World Cup, overtaking the 6 scored at the National Stadium in Karachi.

#9 Most number of 100+ stands (country-wise)

Australia now hold the record for being the country where the most number of century partnerships have been scored. The 122-run stand between Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina against the Bangladeshis on Thursday was the 340th instance of a pair putting on a 100+ stand in Australia.

#10 Most 300+ scores in ODIs (team-wise)

India’s total of 302 for 6 at the MCG is now the 85th instance of the Indians posting a total of 300+ in ODI cricket. Their score of over 300 against South Africa at the same venue earlier in the tournament took them past Australia, who are second in the list having surpassed the score of 300 on 83 occasions.

India featuring at the top of this list should really come as no surprise as they have had one of the most powerful batting line-ups in the world over the last few years.
