Top 5 players with most not out’s in International Cricket

Top 5 players with most not out’s in International Cricket: In cricket we count the number of runs, the centuries, half-centuries that players build on. Here we have a distinct statistical record, the players with most number of not outs in international cricket. This is prompted by MS Dhoni, as the man retires from test cricket something he has so often produced an innings in which he stays unbeaten till the end. Let’s have a look at four others who have done that along with him. 5. Steve Waugh (Australia) 104: Steve Waugh.

Waugh in his international career batted out 104 innings where the opposition bowler could not get the better of him and in the end he would walk back unbeaten. 4. Chaminda Vass (Sri Lanka) 108: Sri Lankan former all-rounder, Chaminda Vaas stands 3rd in the list with 108 not-outs in his international cricket career.

Though on odd occasions he bailed out Sri Lanka off troubles with the bat, but he was not as much known for this attribute. Vass has played 108 international innings without getting out, which ranks him at number four for players with most not out’s in international cricket. 3. Shaun Pollock (South Africa) 113: Former South African legendary all-rounder stands 2nd in the list with 113 not outs in his international cricket career.

Shaun Pollock was not the regular lower order batsman who would have a go at everything coming his way, but was sensible enough and prized his wicket. Pollock has played 113 innings in international cricket, staying unbeaten, and a record he should rather be proud of. 2. MS Dhoni (India) 113: MS Dhoni the lone Indian in the list stands 5th with 100 not outs in international cricket.

There have been 113 instances when he has walked back without getting out. A true finisher in all sense he ensures a stay in the middle till the very end and when he does more often than not the result is in favor of India. 1. Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka) 119: Former Sri Lankan legendary spinner tops the list here with 119 not outs in his international cricketing career. (Photo Source: AFP) An unexpected entry in this feature, you don’t expect to read Muttiah Murlitharan’s name at the top of a batting record list. But, yes he does top this one, with a 119 not out innings in international cricket Murli is at the top for batsmen with most not outs in international cricket. He was a typical tail ender and the reason he has a reference here has more to do with the number at which he batted. At 11 you more often than not see your partner get out and that favored Murli making this record his own. *All stats updated till 28th March 2016
