Test: Top Men's ODI Scores in Successful Run-Chases Wins
The world of one-day international (ODI) cricket has seen some remarkable performances over the years, and none more so than the top individual scores in successful run-chases. As of August 31, 2025, a total of 27 batters have scored 150 or more in a successful ODI chase.
Before October 2005, the chances of a batter reaching this milestone were considered rare, with only two left-handed ODI giants having achieved this feat. One of these giants was a West Indian, who scored 150 or more in a successful chase in 1993. The other was a Sri Lankan, who achieved the same feat in 1997.
The first total in excess of 300 to be chased down in ODIs took more than two decades. However, after October 2005, there has been a significant surge in the count of batters scoring 150 or more in successful ODI chases. This rise can be attributed to several factors, including the birth and rising popularity of T20 cricket, superior bats, changes in powerplay rules, and the use of two new balls.
One of the most recent additions to this exclusive club is Shubman Gill, who scored 150 runs in a successful ODI run-chase against England at Wankhede in 2025. His performance is a testament to the changing landscape of ODI cricket, where the once-rare feat of scoring 150 or more in a successful chase is becoming increasingly common.
As we continue to witness such remarkable performances, it's clear that the future of ODI cricket is bright, with batters continually pushing the boundaries of what is considered possible in the game. Whether it's the thrill of a nail-biting chase or the excitement of a record-breaking innings, the top individual scores in successful men's ODI run-chases are sure to keep cricket fans on the edge of their seats for years to come.
