The West Indian great Brian Lara scored 10405 runs in ODIs. One of the greatest Test batsmen, Lara brought over his genius over to the limited overs internationals and started as an opener, moving down to no.3 or 4 later. He could play the anchor role as well as go berserk if needed to, as evident from his innings against Canada in 2003 World Cup. His only regret, not winning the World Cup, he ended his career in 2007 World Cup with 19 centuries and a best of 169.
