Cricket Records Set on 23 September

The date leans towards bat over ball. Herschelle Gibbs's 125 off 112 for South Africa against Zimbabwe in 2001 tops the ODI list, with Jacques Kallis also making 83 in that same fixture. In Tests, the 1988 clash between Pakistan and Australia produced three of the day's biggest scores in one match, Ijaz Ahmed's 122, Allan Border's 113 and Javed Miandad's 107. The 2018 India-Pakistan ODI stands out too, with Shikhar Dhawan's 114 off 100 and Rohit Sharma's 111 off 119 both arriving in the same innings against the same opponent.

Bowling honours on this date are led by Ish Sodhi's 6/39 in 10 overs for New Zealand against Bangladesh in 2023, the only six-wicket haul on the list. T20Is have thrown up sharper economy figures, such as Imad Wasim's 5/14 in four overs for Pakistan against West Indies in 2016 and Ravi Bopara's 4/10 in 3.4 overs for England against West Indies in 2011. Mushtaq Ahmed's 5/36 for Pakistan against India in 1996 remains the standout ODI figures alongside Sodhi's effort.

In franchise cricket, Faf du Plessis's 103 off 59 for Guyana Amazon Warriors against St Lucia Kings in CPL 2022 is the biggest score recorded on the date, well clear of Rohit Sharma's 80 off 54 for Mumbai Indians against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2020. That same CPL 2022 match also produced contributions from Shai Hope, 59 off 30, and Rahman Gul, 52 off 26, underlining how heavily batting dominates the T20 league entries for 23 September.
