One Day International (ODI) cricket is held between international cricket teams that are Full Members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the top four Associate members. Unlike Test matches, ODIs comprise one inning per team, with a restriction of 50 overs per innings – although, in the past, this has been 55 or 60 overs.
The first ODI was played in January 1971 between England and Australia; since then, there have been almost 4,000 ODIs played by almost 28 sides. The number of matches has constantly increased, partially due to an increase in the number of ODI-playing countries, and the underlying reason may also be because cricket boards in those countries strive to maximize money from the rising popularity of cricket, a process that dates back to the Packer Revolution.
Let us in this article talk about the most runs conceded in an innings:

Mick Lewis
Mick Lewis experienced the ignominy of becoming the priciest bowler in ODI history in the multiple record-breaking 5th One Day International against South Africa and Australia, with figures of 10-0-113-0 in his 10 overs. Lewis however was dropped from the Australian side later, and his contract as a central player was not renewed.
Wahab Riaz
Wahab’s forays into professional cricket began in the early 2000s, soon after he made his first-class debut in the 2001-02 season. However, Wahab was chosen by the national selectors for the ODI team in the year 2008. And, following the spectacular fifer against India in the 2011 semi-finals, one of his balls, a toe-crushing yorker whirling in to beat Yuvraj Singh’s defenses, will go down as a career highlight for this guy from Lahore.
Rashid Khan
On October 18, 2015, khan made his One Day International (ODI) debut for Afghanistan against Zimbabwe, and later on June 9th, he recorded his second ODI five-wicket haul against the West Indies at Gros Islet, finishing with figures of 7 wickets for 18 runs. It was the fourth best ODI bowling stats in history, and the first time an associate nation player took 7 wickets.
Bhubaneshwar Kumar
Bhubaneshwar Kumar made his first international debut against Pakistan in the T20I and ODI series at the end of 2012. Kumar is known to have taken his 100th ODI wicket in the first ODI against Australia in January 2019. Later, he was selected as India’s vice-captain for the ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka in June 2021.
Nuwan Pradeep
He was included in the ODI squad of Sri Lanka for the Scotland trip ahead of the 2019 World Cup. In the second ODI, he secured four wickets to limit Scotland’s score to 199. Sri Lanka won the match in DLS by 35 runs. Pradeep was named man of the match for his much-awarded bowling skills. Pradeep bowled only 4.3 overs in the third ODI against the West Indies on March 1, 2020, after suffering a hamstring injury three deliveries into his second spell. He did not return to the field following his injury.
