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.
6. Adam Gilchrist
Adam Gilchrist was known for fierce batting skills in all forms of cricket and during his 12-year career, he won three World Cups for Australia. His exceptional 149-run knock off 104 deliveries against Sri Lanka in the World Cup 2007 still brings cheers to the faces of Aussie cricket supporters.
While chasing targets, Gilchrist used to be one of the best batters and his batting numbers corroborate this fact. The left-handed Aussie player scored 3750 runs in 90 innings of 95 ODIs at a magnificent strike rate of 102.76 while batting second for his side. These numbers made him the second-most successful Aussie player during run chases.
In the third game of the Carlton & United Series 1999, he produced an effective 131-run knock from his bat to steer his team to an eight-wicket victory. After seven years, the wicketkeeper batter again smashed 122 off 91 against Sri Lanka in the third final in Brisbane and helped his team register a convincing nine-wicket win and series victory as well.
