Wasn't his record inning of 364 that Sobers beat?
Correct on Sobers.
A bit of trivia on the issue between Hanif Mohammad and Gary Sobers.
Though Gary Sobers indeed made more runs than Hanif Mohammad, it was referenced that Sobers made his runs on a far lesser strenuous bowling than the fierce and penetrating bowling that Mohammad faced.
