All-Time ICC ODI Rankings: Players Who Surpassed Kapil Dev's Rating Points

Ten standout all-rounders, arranged by the International Cricket Council's (ICC) One-Day International (ODI) rankings, with Vaidya Jayasuriya and Shahid Afridi not featuring among them, while Darren Chappell surpasses Jacques Kallis in the list.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings are a system used to evaluate a player's current form in cricket, rated from 0 to 1,000. Kapil Dev, India's legendary all-rounder, holds the record for the highest ODI rating points with 896 (though some sources suggest 893). However, there are a few players who have surpassed Kapil Dev's rating points in the history of ODI cricket.

Bowling Rankings

Kapil Dev's peak bowling rating of 896 points was achieved in October 1988. Since then, several players have surpassed this mark. Here are the top bowlers who have achieved higher rating points:

| Player | Country | Highest Rating Points | Year | |------------------|---------|-----------------------|-------------| | Shaun Pollock | South Africa | 1300 | February 2003 | | Shane Warne | Australia | 903 | March 1997 | | Joel Garner | West Indies | 940 | January 1986 | | Malcolm Marshall | West Indies | 910 | January 1988 | | Richard Hadlee | New Zealand | 900 | February 1987 | | Glenn McGrath | Australia | 855 | December 2001 | | Wasim Akram | Pakistan | 863 | January 1994 |

Batting Rankings

If you're referring to batting: Kapil Dev, though renowned as an all-rounder, reached only approximately 700 batting points, which is far from the top tier. Players such as Viv Richards, Zaheer Abbas, Dean Jones, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers far surpassed Kapil Dev in the batting rankings.

All-Rounders Rankings

Four all-rounders have crossed the 500 rating points mark in the ICC ODI rankings. Apart from Kapil Dev, the others are:

1. Viv Richards (471 points)
2. Steve Waugh (487 points)
3. Shaun Pollock (480 points)
4. Lance Klusener (469 points)

Ravi Shastri, Andrew Flintoff, and Chris Gayle are among the other prominent all-rounders who have made significant contributions to the game but have not crossed the 500 rating points mark.

Kapil Dev held the top-ranked ODI all-rounder position from June 1983 until September 1994 (barring a one-game drop), a period unmatched by any other all-rounder. However, in terms of bowling, several players have surpassed Kapil Dev's rating points, as shown above.

In the early days of ODIs, Greg Chappell, one of Australia's greatest Test batters, topped the all-rounders' rankings by his third match itself. Pollock is one of five cricketers to do the double of 300 wickets and 3000 runs in ODI cricket. Viv Richards, known for his batting splendour, also had an understated off-spin in his game. Andrew Flintoff had a prolific year in 2004, averaging 58 with the bat and striking at 102, while also being among England's top five-wicket taking quicks. Chris Gayle's career-best bowling performances came in the years 2002 and 2003, where he took a career-best five-for and three four-fors. Lance Klusener had a remarkable year in 1999, averaging 95 with the bat and 21 with the ball, establishing himself as one of the foremost ODI finishers. Among ODI openers, Chris Gayle has scored the third-highest number of runs. Waugh was also a canny medium pacer in ODI cricket, but a back issue prevented him from fulfilling his bowling potential.

In summary, while Kapil Dev is a legendary all-rounder, several players have surpassed him in terms of bowling rating points. These include Joel Garner, Malcolm Marshall, Shaun Pollock, Shane Warne, Richard Hadlee, Glenn McGrath, and Wasim Akram. In batting, players like Viv Richards, Zaheer Abbas, Dean Jones, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers have far surpassed Kapil Dev.
