5 cricket records held by relatively unknown cricketers and nations

1. Ryan Ten Doeschate

Ryan Ten Doeschate has the highest average in the ODIs

This talented Dutch cricketer has a record which might just surprise you. We all know, Sir Donald Bradman has the highest average in the longest format of the game- 99.94.

But who holds the record in ODIS(players who have played at least 30 ODIS and scored 1000 runs)? The answer is Ryan Ten Doeschate whose average of 67 in 33 ODIs keeps him way above the others.

AB de Villiers, Michael Bevan, Hashim Amla and Virat Kohli are the others in the top 5 and Ryan’s achievement surely deserves the plaudits.

The stylish right-hander scored 1541 runs in his ODI career with 5 centuries and 9 fifties and he is undoubtedly one of the best cricketers Netherlands have ever produced.
