National Records

Sachin Tendulkar is easily the batsman with the most national achievements. He holds the record of most appearances in both Tests and ODIs, most runs in both Tests and ODIs and most centuries in Tests and ODIs. The highest score by an Indian is the 309 scored by Virender Sehwag in Multan. It is the only triple century in Test Cricket by an Indian. The team's highest ever score was a 705/7 against Australia in Syldney, 2004, while its lowest was 42 against England in 1974. In ODIs, the team's highest is 413/5 against Bermuda in the 2007 Cricket World Cup. In the same match, India set a world record of the highest winning margin of 257 runs in an ODI match.
India also has very strong bowling figures, with spin bowler Anil Kumble being a member of the elite group of 5 bowlers who have taken 500 wickets. In 1999, Anil Kumble emulated Jim Laker to become the second bowler to take all ten wickets in a Test Match innings when he took 10 wickets for 74 runs against Pakistan at the Feroz Shah Kolta in Delhi. India's strength has traditionally been with its spin bowlers, which explains the records achieved by Anil Kumble and Bishen Singh Bedi.
Many of the Indian cricket team's records are also World Records , for example Sachin Tendulkar's century tally (in Tests and ODIs) and run tally (in ODIs). Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 183 not out against Sri Lanka in 2005 is the world record score by a wicketkeeper in ODIs. Pankaj Roy and Vinoo Mankad's first wicket partnership of 413 is a world record for the first wicket, although it was close to being broken by Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid in 2006. The Indian cricket team also holds the record of 17 successful run-chases in ODIs, which ended in a dramatic match against the West Indies in May 2006, which India lost by just 1 run.
On 28 March 2008, India became the first Test team to achieve two 200+ run partnerships for the 1st and 2nd wickets of the same innings. Virender Sehwag and Wasim Jaffer made 213 runs for the 1st wicket, before Jaffer was out, and Rahul Dravid joined Sehwag at the crease to add another unbeaten 255 to the close of day 3 of the 1st game of India's Test series with South Africa.
