5 accomplished batsmen who never scored an ODI hundred

#3 Alvin Kallicharran

A legend of West Indian cricket, Kallicharran has 12 Test hundreds to his name but none in one-day cricket. He featured in 31 ODIs from 1973 to 1981, and scored 826 runs at a reasonable average of 34.41 with six half-centuries. However, he never came close to a hundred.

Kallicharran’s highest ODI score was 78 against Australia in match number 11 of the 1975 World Cup, scored at The Oval on June 14. West Indies were chasing 193 to win the game and Kallicharan was the standout performer with 78 from 83 balls, a knock featuring 14 fours and a six. A strong West Indies won the match by seven wickets and Kallicharran was declared man of the match.

In the very next game against New Zealand he made 72 from 92 balls, with seven fours and a six. West Indies again won by 5 wickets, and Kallicharran was man of the match once more.

Sadly, he never reached 70 for the rest of his ODI career.
