Top 25 ODI Batsmen With Quick Inning Potential

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. To qualify for the rating, a player must have played at least 50 innings against the Top Teams (TT). TT may be found in the last section of the rating. In this criteria, we have taken the top 5 innings of the batsman with highest strike rate. Only scores of 50+ runs are considered in this criteria. Quick Innings Strike Rate (QI SR) is the Relative SR of the batsmen in the 5 innings. The first list gives you the batsmen with best QI SR overall while the second only includes innings against the Top Teams.

*Note: All ODI Ratings are updated till 2023-08-09
