5 ODI greats with 10,000 runs and less than 20 centuries

#4 Brian Lara

Brian Lara is hailed as one of the greatest cricketers of all time

Arguably, the greatest left-handed batsman to have played the game, Brian Lara stood as the cornerstone West Indies batting line-up for about 15 years. Irrespective of the format, the man from Trinidad and Tobago had dominated the oppositions' bowling attacks and played a key role in the Windies squad from 1990 to 2007. Lara batted at no. 3 and 4 for the most of his ODI career and succeeded in achieving some tremendous feats on course.

In 289 innings, the southpaw scored 10,405 runs at an average of 40.48 runs per match. However, contrary to his staggering amount of centuries in the Tests, the former West Indies captain managed to score only 19 centuries in the 50-over format.
