    Do you know the most weird records in cricket?
  • While the top batting and bowling records are widely known across the cricketing audiences, there are some bizarre cricket stats which are unique in their own way but are less known.

    We bring to you some of these records, which are weird yet interesting. These range from the longest over bowled in cricket history to most test wickets over-turned by no-balls.

  • In this article
    17-ball over by Mohammad Sami, the longest in international cricket No international centuries for Dhoni outside Asia Highest number of runs conceded without a single legitimate delivery Out for obstructing the field Most number of wickets off a no-ball
  • 2004 Asia Cup

    17-ball over by Mohammad Sami, the longest in international cricket

    17-ball over by Mohammad Sami, the longest in international cricket
  • In the 2004 Asia Cup against Bangladesh, Pakistan's Mohammad Sami entered the record books for bowling the longest over in international cricket.

    Sami bowled 17 deliveries which included 7 wides, 4 no-balls, conceding a total of 22 runs.

    However, New Zealand's Bert Vance bowled the longest over in cricket history with 22 deliveries during a domestic mach, Wellington vs Canterbury, in 1990.

  • Do you know?

    No international centuries for Dhoni outside Asia

  • While the former Indian skipper MS Dhoni has scored 16 centuries playing for the country, 6 in Tests and 10 in ODIs, notably none of his tons were scored outside of the Indian subcontinent.

  • Abdur Rehman

    Highest number of runs conceded without a single legitimate delivery

    Highest number of runs conceded without a single legitimate delivery
  • Pakistan's Abdur Rehman during 2014 Asia Cup match against Bangladesh conceded 8 runs, the most runs conceded without bowling a single legitimate delivery.

    While a bowler is taken off the attack after more than one full toss delivery above waist, Rehman was allowed to continue even after a second beamer, who then went on to deliver another full toss before being pulled off.

  • Unique way to get out

    Out for obstructing the field

    Out for obstructing the field
  • Only ever once in Test cricket was a batsman given out for obstructing the field, Englishman Len Hutton in 1952.

    In ODIs, Rameez Raza, Mohinder Amarnath, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Mohammed Hafeez, Anwar Ali, Ben Stokes, hold this dubious distinction. Interestingly, most of them are Pakistani players.

    England's Jason Roy is the first and only cricketer to be dismissed for field obstruction in T20Is, in June 2017.

  • Data

    Most number of wickets off a no-ball

  • South Africa's Morne Morkel holds an unwanted record for most Test wickets taken off a no-ball. He holds the record for 14 such wickets.
