What is the shortest time anyone has held a cricket world cup record?
I do not think any world cup record has been broken soon after the record was set. The highest individual score of a batsman in World Cup History is 183 runs scored by Garry Kristen of South Africa against UAE in 1995/96 World Cup, which still remains in tact. The best bowling figure in the world cup is 7 wickets for 15 runs by GD McGrath of Australia against Namibia at Potchefstroom in the World Cup, 2002/03 , which still remains in tact.
