Top 10 Batsmen with most 100s in successful chases in ODIs

9. Herschelle Gibbs – 7:

Herschelle Gibbs, the attacking former South African opener who has the distinction of hitting 6 sixes in an over in an ODI, hit 7 centuries in successful run chases in 80 innings. During South Africa’s tour to West Indies in 2001, Gibbs hit 104 off 141 balls in the 2nd ODI. This was his first century in a run chase and a successful one.

In the same series, he hit 107 in yet another winning cause. However, his next 100, when batting second, came against India at Colombo in 2002 which the Proteas lost. His highest score in a successful run chase was a brilliant 175 against Australia in the historic run chase where his heroics helped the Proteas chase down a mammoth 434.
