Top 10 ODI batters with best-chasing records
Virat Kohli’s exceptional 85-run knock against Australia in the 2023 World Cup has put him in a special place on the list of the best batters in run-chases.
9. Desmond Haynes
Desmond Haynes was one of the best batters for the West Indies ODI team during the 1980s, along with Vivian Richards. Appearing in 238 ODIs, he scored 8648 runs in 237 innings at an average of 41.37 in his 16-year international career. Haynes used to be the best for the Windies team while chasing targets until 1994.
The right-handed opener scored 3321 runs with four tons and six fifties in 91 ODIs while following totals. In Australia’s tour of the West Indies in 1984, Haynes showcased his batting mettle in the first ODI played in Albion. The star batter played an unbeaten 133-run knock and helped his team pull off 232 runs.
Almost after two months, Haynes again hit a century against Australia and helped his side chase down a target of 210. This time, Haynes scored an unbeaten 104 in Kingston and guided his team to a nine-wicket victory.
