Tendulkar earlier in this year's event. In the Australia v Kenya match the record for the most wicket-keeping dismissals and catches by a fielder in a tournament were both passed. Adam Gilchrist now has 18 dismissals (all ct) in this tournament, passing the 16 (15 ct, 1 st) by Jeff Dujon (WI) in 1983 and 16 (12 ct, 4 st) by Moin Khan (Pak) in 1999. Gilchrist now has 32 dismissals (30 ct, 2 st) in his World Cup career, passing Moin Khan's career record of 30 (23 ct, 7 st).
In the fielding department, Ricky Ponting now has 10 catches in this
tournament, passing the record of 8 by Anil Kumble (Ind) in 1996 and Daryll Cullinan (SA) in 1999. Dinesh Mongia (Ind) has also taken 8 catches at this year's tournament. Ponting has now taken 17 catches in his World Cup career, passing Chris Cairns' career record of 16.
