The game of cricket has evolved in a lot of ways since its inception in the year 1877. The sport which started with a match of five days has now zeroed down to shorter formats of 50 overs and 20 overs, namely One-day Internationals and T20 Internationals. Cricket has come a long way and is now considered as one of the biggest sports played across the globe.

The standards of the game are getting a notch higher every time a match is played. Though the game requires equal involvement of both batsmen and bowlers, the advancement of the game has resulted in the progress of bowlers getting overshadowed by that of batsmen. In the modern era of cricket, batsmen are dominating the game and are now getting consistent with their performances.

Therefore, a target of 350 and above is considered normal in One-day Internationals. Also, the news of batsmen smashing a hundred in ODIs is now nothing new. The modern-day cricketers are getting far ahead from their predecessors in terms of playing long innings and being consistent in their performances.

As the number of 50+ and 100+ scores are increasing, the century per innings ratio is also improving in One-day Internationals. The article talks about top five current batsmen with best innings per century ratio in the 50-over format with a minimum of 100 ODI innings to their name.

5. Shikhar Dhawan: 7.82 innings per century

Shikhar Dhawan, fondly known as the &#8216;Gabbar&#8217; of the Indian cricket team, is rated highly for his ability to dig in and play big innings. His stint with the Indian team has been nothing less than a roller-coaster ride as the batsman is often subjected to criticism for his inconsistent performances.

The Delhi stalwart rose to fame after a successful U19 2004 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ab-de-villiers-was-in-line-to-play-the-t20-world-cup-quinton-de-kock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">World Cup</a> where he scored 505 runs including three centuries. However, the left-handed batsman could make his ODI debut for India in 2010 only after a long wait of six years. Dhawan has essayed the role of India&#8217;s go-to man in One-day Internationals for a long time, due to his ability to deliver phenomenal performances in ICC events.

In 133 innings played, the opening batsman has smashed 17 centuries and 29 half-centuries in 50-over games. Thus, his ratio of innings taken per century scored comes out to be 7.82 which is quite impressive. Also, he has scored 5,688 runs in his ODI career until now.

Australia&#8217;s limited-overs captain Aaron Finch Is an aggressive top-order batsman who is known for his hard-hitting and ability to finish matches. Just like Dhawan, Finch had to wait for a long time before starting his international career. The cricketer came into limelight with his powerful performance in T20 leagues.

The 33-year-old made his international debut for Australia on January 11, 2013, in a match against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/angelo-mathews-interview-by-anis-sajan-2011-world-cup-sri-lankan-cricket-captaincy-virat-kohli-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sri Lanka</a>. He has been a regular feature in the ODI squad of Australia since then. The occasional left-arm spinner has drastically improved both as a batsman and a leader since the ball-tampering scandal in 2018.

Finch has represented Australia in 122 ODI innings, scoring 4,882 runs at an average of 41.03. The batsman also has 26 half-centuries and 16 centuries to his name in One-day Internationals. This means that the right-hander has been maintaining a ratio of 7.65 innings per century in the 50-over game.

3. Rohit Sharma: 7.48 innings per century

However, his life changed after his promotion as an opening batsman in 2013. Since then, he has not looked back and has went on to become one of the greatest openers to have graced the game of cricket.

The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mumbai-indians-all-time-best-xi-in-ipl-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mumbai </a>stalwart has some splendid records to his name when one speaks of the One-day Internationals. He holds the record of the highest individual score (264) and is the only player to have smashed three double hundreds in ODIs. Also, the right-handed batsman gave a brilliant performance in the 2019 World Cup last year as he scored five hundreds in the marquee event.

In 217 innings played, the 33-year-old has smashed 29 centuries and 43 half-centuries scoring 9,115 runs in the 50-over format. Thus, statistically, Rohit scores a century after every 7.48 ODI innings that he plays.

2. David Warner: 6.72 innings per century

Australia&#8217;s opening batsman David Warner has proved to be a nightmare for the bowlers over the years. The left-hander is more of a power hitter and aggressive batsman. However, he has been lately focusing on his ability to bat long and deep into an innings. Throughout the years, he has shown unparalleled consistency in his batting, making him a permanent member of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-official-reacts-to-cricket-australias-proposal-of-hosting-5-match-test-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Australia&#8217;s </a>cricket team.

The southpaw started his journey as a T20 specialist and later made his way into other formats of the game. He can be termed lucky as he was picked for making an international debut for Australia without playing even a single first-class game. However, he struggled hard to secure a place in the squad and is now a vital cog of Australia&#8217;s international setup.

In 121 international innings, the 33-year-old touched the 100-run mark on 18 occasions. Also, Warner has smashed 5,267 ODI runs with 21 half-centuries to his name. Therefore, his innings per century ratio is calculated as 6.72, which is just second when compared to the stats of all the current batsmen across the globe.

The captain of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli is hailed as the cricketing legend in the modern-day game of cricket. Arguably he is the finest ODI batsman of all time and is certainly the greatest of his generation. The right-handed top-order batsman has equally excelled in all the three formats of the game.

Kohli made his ODI debut for India in 2008 and has been unstoppable since then. He has been an integral part of the Indian squad of 2011, 2015 and 2019 World Cup. Also, the batsman has been on a hundred-hitting spree and will probably surpass <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-rate-sachin-tendulkars-136-in-chennai-higher-than-sehwags-309-at-multan-saqlain-mushtaq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sachin Tendulkar&#8217;s</a> record of hitting 100 international hundred in coming three to four years. Watching Kohli build his innings in a 50-over match is nothing less than magic.

The Delhi stalwart has featured in 239 One-day Internationals for India, scoring 11,876 runs which include 43 centuries and 58 half-centuries. Virat has maintained an excellent average of 59.34 in this format of the game and is also ranked number 1 in ICC&#8217;s ODI batsman list. Thus, he scores a century in the 50-over format after playing an average of 5.58 innings, which is the best ratio when compared to his competitors.

Throughout the years, he has shown unparalleled consistency in his batting, making him a permanent member of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-official-reacts-to-cricket-australias-proposal-of-hosting-5-match-test-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Australia&#8217;s </a>cricket team.
The southpaw started his journey as a T20 specialist and later made his way into other formats of the game. He can be termed lucky as he was picked for making an international debut for Australia without playing even a single first-class game. However, he struggled hard to secure a place in the squad and is now a vital cog of Australia&#8217;s international setup.
In 121 international innings, the 33-year-old touched the 100-run mark on 18 occasions. Also, Warner has smashed 5,267 ODI runs with 21 half-centuries to his name. Therefore, his innings per century ratio is calculated as 6.72, which is just second when compared to the stats of all the current batsmen across the globe.

The captain of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli is hailed as the cricketing legend in the modern-day game of cricket. Arguably he is the finest ODI batsman of all time and is certainly the greatest of his generation. The right-handed top-order batsman has equally excelled in all the three formats of the game.
Kohli made his ODI debut for India in 2008 and has been unstoppable since then. He has been an integral part of the Indian squad of 2011, 2015 and 2019 World Cup. Also, the batsman has been on a hundred-hitting spree and will probably surpass <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-rate-sachin-tendulkars-136-in-chennai-higher-than-sehwags-309-at-multan-saqlain-mushtaq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sachin Tendulkar&#8217;s</a> record of hitting 100 international hundred in coming three to four years. Watching Kohli build his innings in a 50-over match is nothing less than magic.
The Delhi stalwart has featured in 239 One-day Internationals for India, scoring 11,876 runs which include 43 centuries and 58 half-centuries. Virat has maintained an excellent average of 59.34 in this format of the game and is also ranked number 1 in ICC&#8217;s ODI batsman list. Thus, he scores a century in the 50-over format after playing an average of 5.58 innings, which is the best ratio when compared to his competitors.

As the number of 50+ and 100+ scores are increasing, the century per innings ratio is also improving in One-day Internationals.
