Rashid Khan registers the most shameful record of World Cup history
Afghanistan cricketer Rashid Khan is one of the best bowlers in the world but his bowling against England in World Cup came under scrutiny after he went for 110 runs from 9 overs. Rashid Khan now holds the record for most runs conceded by a bowler in a World Cup match and second most runs conceded by a bowler in one-day international cricket.
Rashid Khan also became the bowler to concede the most number of sixes (11) in an ODI match. Michael Lewis of Australia is the bowler to concede the most number of runs (113) in an ODI match against South Africa in 2006. Wahab Riaz of Pakistan who jointly holds the record with Rashid Khan, conceded 110 runs in 2016 against England. England also posted the highest total of World Cup 2019 breaking their own record of 386 runs against Bangladesh.
