The Cricket World Cup is a One Day International (ODI) competition in men's cricket. Organised 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]
IndiabatsmanSachin 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'sGlenn 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 after winning the World Cup in 2007.Read more
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 in one tournament (along with Tom Latham). Australia hold several team records, including those for the most wins, the highest win percentage, 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.

^ abAustralia's streak of 34 matches without defeat consists of 32 wins, 1 tie and 1 no-result. During this streak, after 25 straight wins they had a no-result, followed by 2 more wins, making a total of 27 consecutive wins, broken by Pakistan in the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
Sachin Tendulkar holds numerous batting records, including those for the most fifties and most runs. He also has the most Man of the Match awards. He also shares the record for the most World Cup appearances (6) with Javed Miandad. [24]Ricky Ponting scored more than 1700 runs and has the most appearances (46) and most matches as captain (29) in World Cups.
Glenn McGrath holds the records for the most wickets and best bowling figures. Lasith Malinga was the first player to take four wickets in four balls at international level, against South Africa at the 2007 World Cup.[75] He also was the first bowler to take 2 hat-tricks in Cricket World Cup matches. Chaminda Vaas took four wickets in five balls against Bangladesh in 2003, including wickets with the first three balls of the match.
Mitchell Starc has taken at least one wicket in every match he played in the World Cups.
