#1 Hashim Amla (South Africa) - 86 innings

Hashim Amla, the sole threat to any of the Virat Kohli's records, happens to don the list. One of the finest stroke-makers in the game, Amla has been one of the greatest openers that South Africa ever had. His immaculate consistency in ODI cricket ranks him high on the list alongside the modern-day greats such as Smith and Kohli. Having scored more than 7000 ODI runs, Hashim has been the fastest batsman to reach many multiples of 1000s with 6000 and 7000-mark being the latest.
Besides, he is also the fastest batsman to hit 15 ODI centuries. Amla brought up his 15th ODI ton in only his 86th ODI innings. Unquestionably, with such records up his sleeve, Amla happens to be one of the most consistent batsmen in the history of ODI cricket.
