When a player equals any record or makes any new record on the field, invariably you will hear them saying that, they do not chase records. Probably they do not chase those records, but somehow, records always end up chasing the players. Now, when I speak about records, it is not only cricket records that I am talking about, records can be in any field and it is invariable that records will be broken at some point of time or the other. When a player has been playing the game for quite a number of years, there are many records that are broken or equaled; this is something which is inevitable. Cricket records have the ability of draw newer players to the game. Just go out in the streets and quiz these enthusiastic cricket players and you will come across atleast 6 out of 10 of them, saying that they want to play the game and break the cricket records of their favorite players.



There are cricket records of different types and for a cricket enthusiast it can get very difficult to keep track of those records. Today everyone is complaining about too much cricket being played and with the entry and recognition of the latest version of the game, Twenty20 becoming popular, the number is going to increase all the more. The international cricket council or the ICC, the governing body of world cricket, recognizes and keeps a track of all the cricket records. So the next time, you need to know about any cricket records, all you need to do is, log in to their website and type your query. All the records will be displayed to you; the web has made it really easy for all cricket fans to know all about the game including the records that are being made.

There are some records that are comparatively easy to break and some of them are very difficult to achieve. So it goes without saying that, only exceptionally well talented and gifted players can break all those cricket records. Had that not been the case, by now we would have seen all the cricket records being broken, irrespective of which player is playing the game. Sachin Tendulkar is perhaps one player in the cricket world, who has more cricket records to his name than any other player. Some of the cricket records that he has achieved are simply unbelievable and it will take quite sometime for any other player to beat those records.

However, as they say, nothing in this world is impossible and all these records will definitely be broken, it is just a matter of time. Some of the cricket records are already being rewritten with so many matches and so many forms of the game being played these days. In the recently concluded Twnety20 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh of India, scored the fastest fifty in any form of the game, when he scored those runs off a mere 12 balls. The innings also included 6 sixes in an over, which he hit against Stuart Broad, the English bowler.
