Cricket Records Set on 22 September

The date leans heavily towards the bat. Virender Sehwag's 126 off 104 and Sourav Ganguly's 117 off 109, both for India against England in 2002, sit at the top of the ODI list. Babar Azam's 110 off 66 for Pakistan against England in 2022 stands out for its pace, while Moin Khan's 117 off 208 in the 1995 Test against Sri Lanka shows the format's different tempo. Eoin Morgan's 107 off 101 and Tillakaratne Dilshan's 106 off 92 add further ODI hundreds, and Michael Slater's 96 off 220 in 1999 reflects the patience required in Tests.

Bowling figures on 22 September are fewer and mostly modest by the batting standards above. Ravichandran Ashwin's 6/132 for India against New Zealand in 2016 is the leading Test return, supported by Ravindra Jadeja's 5/73 in the same match. Muttiah Muralitharan took 5/71 in 1999 and Abdul Qadir 5/76 in 1982, both across long spells. In white-ball cricket, Brett Lee's 5/38 in 2006 and Mohammed Shami's 5/51 in 2023, both for Australia against India, are the only five-wicket ODI hauls recorded.

T20 league cricket on this date has favoured explosive scoring. BA King's 104 off 66 for Guyana Amazon Warriors against Jamaica Tallawahs in CPL 2022 leads the way, followed by Nicholas Pooran's 93 off 43 and Andre Fletcher's 93 off 61, both for Trinbago Knight Riders against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in CPL 2024. The IPL 2020 meeting of Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings produced three fifties in one innings from SV Samson, F du Plessis and SPD Smith, underlining the batting emphasis seen across formats on 22 September.
