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.
4. Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is known for his exceptional batting talent and currently, he is the only batter in the ODI format to notch up three double tons. Rohit is also one of the players in the one-day format to score more than 10,000 runs. As a batter, Rohit is in the club of players who scored the most runs in chases for their teams.
The India skipper holds the fourth position on this list with 3983 runs in 89 innings of 93 ODIs, at a strike rate of 88.88. The 36-year-old has delivered a lot of notable knocks to his team while chasing big scores in ODI cricket. One of his famous batting performances came against Australia in 2013.
On Jaipur’s flat track, India were tasked to chase a mammoth total of 360. Rohit stepped up in the big game and delivered a blistering start to his team along with opening partner Shikhar Dhawan. After Dhawan’s dismissal, Rohit continued his attack on the Aussies and stitched a 186-run partnership with Virat Kohli. India eventually won the game by nine wickets and Rohit contributed an unbeaten 141 from his bat off 123. The right-handed opener also received the Player of the Match award for his batting effort.
