Record of most runs in a world cup is held firmly by Sachin Tendulkar who made 673 runs in world cup 2003. Question is, can someone break Sachin's record? this brings us to one question = which batsman has most runs in 2011 world cup so far? following list is our answer..
As many as 11 matches were played by Sachin during that South African tournament as India reached finals and similarly, whichever batsman wants to score big runs during 2011 world cup, his team has to play as many matches as possible if not reach the final which will allow him more and more innings to bat, if not win the man of the series award too.
Update : Following list was updated after the final between India and Sri Lanka. So, at the end, Tillakaratne Dilshan finished with most runs but Sachin Tendulkar's second best effort made sure India won the world cup 2011. Yuvraj Singh, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and Upul Tharanga batted very well too...
