5 Batsmen with highest ODI average

#4 AB de Villiers (Batting Average- 53.50)

De Villiers is one of the most feared batsmen in the world

AB De Villiers is a name that needs no introduction. The former South African cricketer is one of the most destructive ODI batsmen of all-time. When on song, he was a nightmare for the bowlers. He used to play even the unorthodox shots without much difficulty; when in rhythm, he used to send the ball to all parts of the ground.

De Villiers holds the record for fastest 50, 100 and 150 in one-day internationals and is widely acclaimed as one of the most innovative batsmen to have played in the modern era.

He featured in 228 matches and scored 9577 runs at an average of 53.50, accompanied by 53 fifties and 25 hundreds. All of his 25 centuries were scored at a strike-rate of above 100, which is a mind-boggling stat.
