Top 25 ODI Batsmen Impact Innings

Our One Day International (ODI) ratings take into account all matches from the first ODI match on January 5, 1971 till the below mentioned last update date. Most of our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier batsmen may change if current batsmen set new benchmarks. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section (Detailed Explanation). So, here are the Top 25 batsmen with most II and best II/dismissal in ODIs.

*Note: All ODI Ratings are updated till 2025-09-15

Impact Innings (II)

Impact Innings are those innings which have an impact in terms of Runs or Strike Rate or Finishing a Chase. Know All About II. Points to note about II:-

Both Inns are clubbed together.
A Batsman should score at least 25 runs to qualify.
An Inn is included in II if it is 30.00% of the total runs of the higher total or
The runs are 10.00% of the total runs and
The SR is high or in a successful chase while being Not Out.

THE CRITERIA

The II Rating is divided into 4 main sections:-

CRITERIA	STAT	POINTS
Prolific	Total Impact Inns	300.00
Consistent	II Percentage	250.00
Top Teams	II Percentage (TT)	250.00
ICC Tournaments	II Percentage (ICC)	200.00

The Trend Setter (TS)

TS is the player who does the best in a criteria. The rating of all other players are calculated taking the TS as the benchmark. Know All About TS. Here is a simple example:-

TS Runs: 2,000; Player X Runs: 1,000; Section Points: 250.00
TS Points: 250.00(Max); Player X Points: Runs/TS Runs X 250 = 1,000/2,000 X 250 = 125.00
Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Runs being replaced by the Criteria Stat.

TT

Some sections consider performances only against the top teams (TT). Here is some information about the Top Teams:-

Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine Top Teams.
TT are calculated by decades.
A batsman's performace is counted in TT if it comes against that team in the specific decade.
Knock Out and Super Six matches of ODI World Cup are also counted in TT.
