Four cricketers have scored more than 1000 runs in ICC Cricket World Cup tournaments. The four players with more than 1000 runs in World Cup history were:

1. Sachin Tendulkar (India) : Sachin Tendulkar, often regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history, scored a record 2,278 runs in six Cricket World Cup tournaments from 1992 to 2011. He is the highest run-scorer in World Cup history.

2. Ricky Ponting (Australia) : Ricky Ponting, the former Australian captain, is another cricketing legend. He scored 1,743 runs in five World Cup tournaments from 1996 to 2011. Ponting played a pivotal role in leading Australia to multiple World Cup victories during his captaincy.

3. Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka) : Kumar Sangakkara, the elegant Sri Lankan batsman and former captain, accumulated 1,532 runs in four World Cup tournaments from 2003 to 2015. His consistency and batting prowess made him a key figure for Sri Lanka in World Cup competitions.

4. Brian Lara (West Indies) : Brian Lara, one of the most stylish left-handed batsmen in cricket history, scored 1,225 runs in five World Cup tournaments from 1992 to 2007. While West Indies struggled in some of those tournaments, Lara's performances were often a highlight.
