==Golden Bat==
The ''Golden Bat'' Award goes to the top run scorer of the ICC World Cup. While every World Cup had a ranking of the run scorers, the first time an award was given was in 1975. If there is more than one player with the same number of runs both of them are awarded with the Golden Bat. [[India]] is the only country whose players have won the Golden Bat a record 5 times ([[Sachin Tendulkar]] in 1996 & 2003, [[Rahul Dravid]] in 1999, [[Rohit Sharma]] in 2019 and [[Virat Kohli]] in 2023).
