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
15 batsmen in World Cups in ODIs.
*Note: All ODI Ratings are updated till 2023-08-09
THE CRITERIA
The WORLD CUP Rating is divided into five main sections:-
CRITERIA | STAT | POINTS |
---|---|---|
Prolific | Runs Scored | 300.00 |
Consistent | Average | 200.00 |
Attacking | Strike Rate | 200.00 |
Big Innings Potential | Top Scores | 150.00 |
Quick Innings Potential | Top Inns By SR | 150.00 |
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.
Top Teams (TT)
Some sections consider performances only against the top teams. Here is some information about the Top Teams:-
- Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine top teams.
- The top teams 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 ICC World Cup and Champions Trophy are also counted in TT.

Min Runs (TS AVE SR) | 500 |
Min Average (TS SR) | 30 |

The Eras
ODIs from 1971 to present are divided into eras for this section. This is because less cricket was played earlier. To make it fair for earlier players they are compared with players of the same period with a slight reduction in points. Know More About Eras.

Era 2 | MP between 1990 And 2015 |

- Strength of Opposition.
- Positions at which a batsman has played.
- Venues at which he has played.
- Time Period in which he has been active
