If the individual score goes high, the opponent team struggles mostly until the batsman is out. Earlier Sourav Ganguly as then Indian captain claimed this record with match match-winning 141 unbeatable in the second semi-final of ICC Champions Trophy 2000. However, when Graeme Smith, former South African captain smashed 141 in 2009, the team could not claim the victory. It suggests that support from the other end is inevitable for winning matches.
