Cricket Records Set on 10 January

Budhi Kunderan's 192 for India against England in 1964 stands as the highest individual score recorded on this date, laced with 31 fours and no sixes, a reminder of the era's boundary-hitting style. Dean Jones came close with 184 off 421 balls for Australia against England in 1987, a marathon effort in contrast to Mohammad Shahzad's 118 off just 67 balls for Afghanistan against Zimbabwe in 2016. The 2008 Durban Test also produced two centuries in the same match, Graeme Smith's 147 off 165 and Ashwell Prince's 123 off 196, both for South Africa against West Indies.

John Emburey's 7/78 in 46.00 overs for England against Australia in 1987 is the best bowling figure listed for this date in Tests. Dale Steyn's 6/72 in 21.50 overs for South Africa against West Indies in 2008 came in the same match as Smith and Prince's centuries, showing bat and ball both prospering on that occasion. Older figures include Salim Durani's 6/105 for India against England in 1962 and Jack O'Connor's 5/40 for Australia against England in 1908, spanning contrasting periods of the game.

In T20 leagues, DJM Short's 122 off 69 for Brisbane Heat against Hobart Hurricanes in BBL 2017 leads the list of scores recorded on 10 January. Ryan Rickelton's 113 off 60 for Joburg Super Kings against MI Cape Town in SA20 2026 and David Warner's 88 off 66 for Hobart Hurricanes against Sydney Thunder in BBL 2024/25 also feature, illustrating how the shorter format has produced rapid scoring on this date in more recent years.
