In 2021, Muhammad Rashid earned the World Record title of crushing the most number of walnuts with his elbow in one minute. The count was 315. Back then, Rashid had told GWR that he “practises 4 to 5 hours daily.”
He added, “The first time when I broke this record it was easy at that time. But with the passage of time it kept on becoming difficult as many other players broke this record. Speed and focus was a little more tough during that training. My elbow got injured several times during the training period but It did not stop me as I was eager to regain this record at any cost.”
