The Indian captain is on fire. The way Rohit Sharma’s bat smashes the scores makes it seem that he is hitting on a pitch different from the other Indian batsmen. He scored impressive fifties in the opening two ODIs against Sri Lanka. Rohit is now the fourth Indian batsman to reach 15,000 in ODIs. With this record, Rohit Sharma ranks with Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli as the highest runs scorer in the 50-over format. Overall, he became the tenth-best opener in the ODI ranking.
The ODI ranking appears to be similar to the power rankings. Right? But here’s a quick difference. A One Day International (ODI) is a type of 50-over limited-overs cricket. ODIs are played between two teams, with each team facing a certain amount of overs, right now 50. After each ODI match, each team’s total points are divided by the total number of matches played in order to calculate a rating. Then, all of the teams and players are rated in order of ODI ranking.
The Top 5 ODI Batsmen
No.1: Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar, India’s living icon, is widely recognized as the greatest cricketer of all time. Tendulkar is the top run scorer in cricket, including the ODI and Test forms. Tendulkar scored 18,426 runs in 463 games throughout his two-decade career. It’s an unbeatable record. Tendulkar, in addition to Rohit Sharma, was the first to record an ODI double-century and has 49 in total.
No.2: Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is known as the finest batsman in modern cricket. And even after a 15-year career, he shows no signs of slowing down. Kohli is the seventh most run scorer in both ODI and international cricket. Kohli has also scored 79 centuries in international cricket. He is a top-order batsman who formerly captained the Indian side. Kohli has scored 13,707 runs in ODIs in only 291 matches.
No.3: Sourav Ganguly
Sourav Ganguly, the former India captain and opener, ranks third on the list of ODI runs for India, with 11221 runs. Between 1992 and 2007, the left-hander played 308 ODIs for India. He averaged 40 across his ODI career. He achieved 22 centuries and 71 fifties. He scored a total of 11363 runs in ODI cricket. 142 of which came while representing Asia XI.
No.4: Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma, one of the game’s most graceful batsmen, is now India’s fourth-highest ODI scorer with 10769* runs. The India skipper has 10769* runs in 265 matches. And he is on the verge of breaking the 11,000 milestone. Rohit has 31 centuries in this format. Rohit was the leading run-scorer at the 2019 World Cup. He has been confirmed to captain India in the 2025 Champions Trophy.
No.5: Rahul Dravid
Rahul Dravid, a former India captain, was the backbone of India’s middle order for almost a decade. He scored 10768 runs in ODIs for India at an average of 39. This history-changer batsman hit 12 centuries and 82 fifties in the ODI. Overall, he scored 10889 runs in ODI cricket, including 121 runs for Asia XI and ICC XI. Rohit Sharma has overcome Rahul, and sooner or later, he will replace Tendulkar and Virat in the ODI rankings.
