ICC Cricket World Cup awards list, all time winners, & most successful players
The ICC World Cup honors the highest run-scorer with the prestigious Golden Bat Award. Although run scorers were ranked in every World Cup, the inaugural presentation of the award occurred in 1975. India holds the unique distinction of producing players who have clinched the Golden Bat on four occasions—a record achieved by Sachin Tendulkar in 1996 and 2003, Rahul Dravid in 1999, and Rohit Sharma in 2019.
Similarly, the ICC World Cup recognizes the leading wicket-taker with the prestigious Golden Ball Award. Although wicket-taker rankings were present in every World Cup, the inaugural presentation of the award took place in 1975. In contrast to the race for the highest run-scorer, the accolade for the most wickets taken has frequently witnessed players jointly claiming the trophy. Only two spin bowlers have successfully secured a spot on this distinctive list.
