ODI Records and Statistics – Individual Fielding Records for Most Catches in ODI Career

In contrast to Test matches, one inning is played for each team in ODIs, with each inning having a cap of 50 overs (although in the past, it has occasionally been 55 or 60 overs).

One Day International (ODI) matches feature international cricket teams that are Full Members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the top four Associate members. In contrast to Test matches, one inning is played for each team in ODIs, with each inning having a cap of 50 overs (although in the past, it has occasionally been 55 or 60 overs).

ODI cricket is a subset of List A cricket, and as such, it has its records and statistics that are preserved apart from List A records. Since the first match to be called an ODI between England and Australia in January 1971, 28 teams have played more than 4,000 ODIs. The number of ODI-playing nations has risen, partly because of this and partly because the cricket boards of those nations have been trying to maximize their profits from the sport’s expanding popularity since the Packer Revolution.

Root

The 2019 ICC World Cup saw Joe Root reach the century threshold twice, making him the first Englishman to achieve three centuries in a single World Cup. He reached the boundary rope 11 times during his 16th ODI century as the Three Lions won in 33.1 overs, with Root remaining unbeaten at 100, which came off 94 balls. Curiously, all three 300s occurred in the six World Cup innings before.

Allan Border

The Benson & Hedges World Series Cup, a tri-nation (ODI) series, was played in Australia from December 10, 1988, to January 18, 1989. It was attended by Pakistan, the West Indies, and Australia. The best-of-three finals were won by West Indies with a score of 2-1. Australia and the West Indies advanced to the championship round of the round-robin competition. Desmond Haynes, with 513 runs in 11 innings at an average of 51.30, and Curtly Ambrose, with 21 wickets in 10 innings at an average of 15.90, each led their respective teams’ bowling orders in the competition.

Jeremy Coney

From November 23, 1980, to February 3, 1981, Australia hosted a cricket tournament known as the 1980-81 Australia Tri-Nation Series, sometimes known as the 1980-81 World Series. The second Australian Tri-Series was played in Australia against New Zealand and India. On the trips through India and New Zealand, the series made a halt. Following matches in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth throughout the group stage, Australia and New Zealand earned spots in the championship game. After the underarm incident, Australia ultimately won the third final 3-1.

Carl Hooper

Carl Llewelyn Hooper, a former Guyanese cricket player (born on December 15, 1966), led the West Indies in Test and One-Day International matches. Throughout his 16-year international playing career, he represented the West Indies as a right-handed batsman and off-spin bowler. He became well-known in the late 1980s while playing on a squad that included Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Malcolm Marshall, and Courtney Walsh.

Ricky Ponting

The World Cup of 2003 saw Australia put on a great showing. In South Africa, they defeated rivals to advance to the championship game, and they then thrashed India to win the World Cup for the second time in a row. The Australian team’s captain Ricky Ponting, who finished 415 runs behind India’s Sourav Ganguly (465) and Sachin Tendulkar, was one of the best players. Both Ponting, who finished third among all scorers, and Adam Gilchrist, who had a solid season with the bat and totalled 408 runs from 11 matches, were essential to Australia’s triumph. Ponting managed to maintain an average of 87.2 while scoring two centuries.

VVS Laxman

He is a former Indian international cricket player as well as a former analyst and cricket commentator. Laxman, a middle-order batsman in Test cricket, is a right-handed batsman renowned for his graceful stroke play. In addition to serving as the India Under-19 and India A teams’ head coach, Laxman is presently the NCA’s Head of Cricket. One of the very few players, Laxman, has played 100 Test matches without ever taking part in a One-Day Cricket World Cup. Laxman made up for his somewhat slow between-the-wickets running with his stroke play and quick scoring. He was recognized as one of Wisden’s top five cricketers in 2002.
