You don't get points in cricket, but you do get runs and these are scored when a batsman hits a ball that's bowled at him and the ball goes far away enough to enable him and the batsman the other end to run from one wicket to the other. If they can do that more than once they get a run for each time. But if the ball goes to the boundary they score 4 runs anyway and if the ball goes over the boundary without having touched the ground they score 6.

Was there a cricketer who scored more than 36 runs in a cricket over?

technically no, as the batter can only score a maximum of 36 runs, no more. any other runs would have to be obtained through the bowler bowling a no ball. this being added to the batters score for the over, but not actually scored by the batter himself.
