The 2020s decade is going to be exciting for the One Day International (ODI) format, as four major ICC events will take place in different countries. The teams will battle it out in two ODI World Cups (2023 and 2027) and two Champions Trophy (2025 and 2029) tournaments.

So, in this article, I will bring you the top 10 batsmen with the most ODI runs in the 2020s.

Key Insights – Prolific ODI Batters in 2020s

Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, has been in excellent form, maintaining an impressive batting average. You can review his ODI runs on a year-by-year basis.

The West Indies ODI captain, Shai Hope, led his team with a brilliant performance, yet the West Indies failed to qualify for the 2023 Cricket World Cup for the first time in their history.

Among the teams that play relatively less ODIs, Ireland’s Paul Stirling and Harry Tector have also had good outings with the bat. Similarly, Bangladesh’s Litton Das and Tamim Iqbal have consistently scored runs, making things difficult for opposing bowlers.

Zimbabwean all-rounder Sikandar Raza is in the form of his life, contributing significantly to many victories with both his batting and bowling.

India’s young talent, Shubman Gill, has had a promising start to his career. In January 2023, he became the eighth international and fifth Indian batsman to score a double century in a one-day international. Shubman has the potential to become one of the top run-scorers of the 2020s decade.
