#1 Sir Vivian Richards

Viv Richards literally demolished bowling attacks all around the world and finished with a staggering strike of 90 in his ODI career.

A player who will directly walk into any playing XI of the modern generation, Sir Vivian Richards will go down in the history of the game as one of the greatest batsmen to grace the game. He had a different mindset from every batsman of his generation and used to dominate the bowlers from the word go.

Richards scored a brilliant 189* against England in 1984 which was the highest individual ODI score before Saeed Anwar broke it in 1997 scoring 194 against India. His innings was decorated with 21 fours and 5 sixes. In 3 years time, Richards followed it up with another gigantic score of 181 against Sri Lanka in the 1987 Reliance World Cup. He smashed 7 sixes and 16 fours in his explosive knock.

Richards played his last ODI against England in 1991. He finished his career with 6721 runs at an astonishing strike rate of 90.20. He also scored at a healthy average of 47.
