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
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 the team in the specific decade.
- Knock Out and Super Six matches of ICC World Cup and Champions Trophy are also counted in TT.

- Positions at which a batsman has played.
- Venues at which he has played.
