Every year many new records are formed and old in cricket history, but there are some records that live up to the test of time. Before the new season of the World Test Championship, we are telling you about a unique record that was created by Mohammad Yusuf of Pakistan in 2006 – and which is unwavering today after 19 years.
2006: When Joseph became ‘Pakistani Bradman’
Mohammad Yusuf, whose classic batting style is still remembered today, had the record of scoring the most runs in a calendar year of Test cricket in 2006.
-
11 Test matches, 19 innings
-
1788 runs
-
Average – 99.33
-
9 centuries and 3 half -centuries
-
222 fours and 12 sixes
His highest score in this great performance was 202 runs. He broke the record of West Indies veteran Viv Richards, which had been persisted for 30 years.
Viv Richards’s record also broken
Viv Richards scored 1710 runs in 19 innings of 11 Tests in 1976, including 7 centuries and 5 half -centuries. His highest score was 291. But Mohammad Yusuf broke his record in 2006 scoring 78 runs more.
Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are also behind
Such a big record and so much consistency on it – that is why even veterans like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli could not reach this record.
Joe Root, who scored 1708 runs in 29 innings in 2021, is at number three in the list, but no one reached close to the average and number of innings of Joseph.
