Sri Lankan Duo Also Feature Among Top Names

Sri Lanka’s Thilina Kandamby scored 870 ODI runs in 39 matches without clearing the boundary once. The left handed batter was known for calm and composed innings in the middle order.

Another Sri Lankan batter, Thilan Samaraweera, also makes the list. Samaraweera registered 862 runs in 53 ODIs and built a reputation as a dependable batter, especially in pressure situations.

Former Australian opener Steve Smith completes the top six. He scored 861 runs in just 28 ODIs between 1983 and 1985. Despite enjoying a relatively short ODI career, Smith managed to score two centuries through elegant strokeplay and precise timing.

These batters proved that success in ODI cricket is not always about brute force. Long before six hitting became the norm, players relied on strong technique, patience and intelligent shot selection to build memorable careers.
