Masood, the previous record-holder, accomplished the stunning feat against South Africa in the 1998 World Cup, when he scored a then-record-breaking 262 and created a record.
It is pertinent to mention here that Masood’s record for the highest individual score in the ODI World Cup, though, remains unblemished.
