Masood, the previous record holder, achieved the amazing feat against South Africa in the 1998 World Cup, when he scored 262, which then broke the record, and created a record.
However, it is pertinent to mention here that Masood’s record for the highest individual score in the ODI World Cup remains unblemished.
