The Cricket World Cup is a One Day International (ODI) competition in men's cricket. Organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the tournament has taken place every four years since it was first held in England. The number of teams and number of matches have increased since then, although the ICC declared an interest in reducing the format,[1] following criticism of the 2007 World Cup.[2]
India batsman Sachin Tendulkar holds an array of individual records in the World Cup. One of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1997,[3] Tendulkar has made more scores over fifty and scored more runs than any other cricketer in World Cup history. Australia's Glenn McGrath dominates the individual bowling records, having featured for his country in four World Cups.[4] He has one of the best strike rate and economy rate among any other bowler, having the best individual bowling figures and taken more wickets in the history of the tournament. McGrath concluded his career[5] after winning the World Cup in 2007.
Australian Ricky Ponting and Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakkara lead the individual fielding records. Ponting is the leading fielder in terms of catches taken, in both a single Cricket World Cup tournament and in the competition's history, while Sangakkara has the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in Cricket World Cup history. Adam Gilchrist holds joint records for the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in both a single match (along with Sarfraz Ahmed and Quinton de Kock) and in one tournament (along with Tom Latham). Australia holds several team records, including those for the most wins, the highest win percentage, and the most consecutive wins; they were undefeated in the 2003 and 2007 campaigns.
Records are also kept of underwhelming performances. These include Canada's lowest score in the history of the tournament, Zimbabwe's record number of matches lost and Canadian Nicholas De Groot's three consecutive ducks.
All records are updated as of the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
