“Cricket Milestones: Records Broken and Remarkable Feats Achieved”
Royal Challengers’ 221 against Cricket Milestones Knight Riders at Eden Gardens last week marked the highest all-out total in any senior T20 game to date. Surpassing the previous record set by Surrey’s 215 against Glamorgan in the T20 Blast at The Oval in May 2015 and KKR’s 210 against Rajasthan Royals in Mumbai in 2022, this milestone highlights the explosive nature of modern Cricket Milestones.

However, two higher totals in one-run defeats in T20 matches stand out: Central Districts’ 248 for 4 against Otago (249 for 3) in New Plymouth in New Zealand’s Super Smash in December 2016 and India’s 244 for 4 against West Indies (245 for 6) in a T20I in Lauderhill in the United States four months earlier.
Turning to Test cricket, Don Bradman’s remarkable record stands out as he made 11 Test centuries in England, setting the bar high for visiting players. Other notable names include Jack Hobbs with nine Test hundreds in Australia, Sunil Gavaskar and Steve Smith with seven centuries each in the West Indies and England respectively. However, Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for the most Test centuries away from home with 29, reflecting his unparalleled skill on foreign soil.
In terms of partnerships, Tamim Iqbal and Mominul Haque’s 170-run stand against England in 2016 accounted for 77.27% of Bangladesh’s total of 220, marking one of the highest proportions in Test cricket history. Yet, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene’s 168-run partnership for Sri Lanka against South Africa in Durban in December 2000 holds the record with 77.78% of the innings total.
Cricket Milestones Looking at bowling records, Muthiah Muralidaran tops the list in Tests with 34 dismissals of centurions, followed closely by James Anderson with 32. In ODIs, Mohammed Shami leads the way with 15 dismissals of century-makers, while Lizaad Williams and Abdur Razzak share the lead in T20Is with two each.
Cricket Milestones Finally, in a memorable Test match in 2001, Brian Lara’s monumental efforts of 221 and 130 against Sri Lanka were in vain as West Indies lost by ten wickets. Despite his incredible aggregate of 351 runs, Lara’s performance remains the highest in a losing cause in Test cricket, narrowly surpassing Andy Flower’s 341 runs against South Africa in 2001.
