Top 10 players in ODIs involved in most 300 plus team totals

There was a time when a 300 plus total was largely considered a safe one to defend and mighty difficult to chase. However with the evolution of the game and the rise of the T20 format, scoring above 6 runs an over is not a difficult task in cricket. The fielding restrictions, rules like usage of 2 new balls in an innings, flat pitches and the quality of bats have all contributed in making high scoring encounters a regular feature of the international game. Here are the top 10 players to be involved in most 300 plus totals of their teams.

10. Virender Sehwag (India)- 43:

The former India opener is one of the 3 players to have scored 200 plus runs in an ODI innings. He was involved in 43 totals of 300 plus India has made. He was the main architect of India’s highest ODI total of 418, as he scored 219 of those runs. India won 34 matches, lost 8 and tied one. The lowest team score in this range is 304 while the average runs per wicket being 55.22.
