Cricket: Top ten run scorers in One Day Internationals, Tendulkar tops list
The top ten One Day International run scorers in ascending order are:
10- http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Gilchrist-c918: symbolises a perfect wicket-keeper a team can have. Adam Gilchrist is famous for his hard hitting runs. Adam scored 9619 runs in ODI’s with a strike run-rate of 96.94. Gilchrist scored 16 hundreds and 55 fifties in 287 matches.  He has carried his style of play irrespective of his position in squad. He was as dangerous an opener as he was on number seven. Gilchrist is on number ten in list of top ten ODI scorers.
09- Ever elegant Mohammad Yousuf is on number nine with 9624 runs and an average of 42.39. Yousuf has managed these runs in only 282 matches. He has scored 15 hundreds and 64 fifties. Yousuf in the later part of his career was caught in controversies which kept him out of cricket for some time but the worst happened in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391 2010 when he was handed a life time ban by PCB. Following his ban Yousuf announced his retirement from the game.
08- The World’s most stylish batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760. In his 299 match career he scored 19 hundreds and 63 fifties. Brian Lara also captained his side for some time before bowing out of the cricketing world. His highest in ODI’s is 169.
07- Mr Dependable, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 is on number seven with 10765 runs from 339 matches. Rahul is normally recognised as a test player but his records in ODI’s are as impressive as test cricket. Dravid has scored 12 centuries and 82 fifties with a batting average of 39.43. Raul took over captaincy from Ganguly but his role as a captain did not last for long.
06- One of the world’s best all rounders, Jacque Kallis, is on number six with 10838 runs. Kallis was equally impressive with his bowling by picking up 254 wickets. The South African star has an average of 45.72 from 303 ODI’s and he is not done yet. He is likely to play for a few more years before retiring.
05- Sourav Ganguly, the Prince of Calcutta who is famously known as “Dada” in the cricketing world, is on number five with 11363 runs. He was a treat to watch when he used his feet to perfection. His charisma galvanized the Indian team to achieve success in any format of the game. He had a successful and respected tenure as captain.  During his time as captain, the Indian cricket team became one the best test teams of the world. He scored 22 hundreds and 72 fifties in his superb career of 311 matches.
04- The bulky http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Inzamam-ul-Haq-c64383 was a cricketer with a sublime touch. He use to take a few early over’s to settle down but once adjusted in the crease there was no looking back for him. He scored 11730 runs with an average of 39.52. If there was any flaw in his game that was his hapless running between the wickets. He scored 10 hundreds and 83 fifties in his career of 378 matches.
03- Cricketer of the decade, Ricky Ponting, is on number three with 13072 runs under his belt and an average of 42.85. His full flourishing drives were a nightmare for bowlers. Ponting was one the most successful captains of the recent cricketing era. His work as a captain was made easy by a superb Australian side. Ponting is the only cricketer of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746’s golden era that continues to impress with his bat. Ricky has scored 29 hundreds and 79 fifties in ODI’s.
02- The uncompromising hitter of the ball, Sanath Jayasuriya is on number two with 13428 runs in 444 ODI’s. He averages 32.43 and has scored 28 hundreds and 68 fifties.
01- The little master blaster, Sachin Tendulkar from India is topping all record books of cricket. He has scored the most runs in ODI’s and test cricket and has scored the most centuries in ODI’s. He has no weakness in his batting. His rock solid defence and classic footwork allows him to stand and deliver. He has scored 17589 runs with an average of 45.12. Sachin, also, holds the record of most runs in an innings by a batsman. He scored an unbeaten 200 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in Gwalior. He is currently 36 years old and looks in good shape to play for a few more years. He has scored 46 centuries and 93 fifties.
