2. MS Dhoni (50.90)

England v India - 3rd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
Dhoni is a master chaser

One of the greatest finishers of all-time, MS Dhoni is a master chaser. In spite of being a wicket-keeper if you boast-off an average of 50.90 that too with a strike rate of 88.11, then it speaks volumes about your quality as a cricketer.

Dhoni has scored 10079 runs from 324 matches with 10 centuries and 67 half-centuries. Dhoni is an exceptional keeper to spinners with many great stumpings to his name and has the distinction of winning a World Cup as a captain.

3. Ambati Rayudu (50.39)

England v India: Carlton Mid ODI Tri Series - Game 6
Rayudu has been very consistent in his run-scoring

Rayudu's name in this list will surprise many people as he is not a big name in the cricketing world by any stretch of the imagination. Rayudu has an average of 50.39 from 37 matches, which tells you that these are still early days in his career, still, one cannot take away the fact that he has been very consistent during the limited opportunities, provided to him so far.

One thing that Rayudu needs to improve upon is his strike-rate which is a disappointing 75.90. If he can improve upon this one aspect then he might end up being a regular member of the Indian side.
