Highest Runs Scored In An Innings At Each Position In The Batting Order In ODIs

#2 Rohit Sharma - 264(173 balls) vs Sri Lanka, 2014

Rohit celebrating after scoring his second double century in ODI cricket

Rohit Sharma was just coming from an injury layoff before the match and there were arguments and doubts about his opening position coming into the match. However, Rohit put all doubts to rest once and for all by scoring his double century in this match. He struggled a bit initially but once he got set, he hit the ball elegantly all around the park and played the longest innings in ODI(173 balls).

His score of 264 is the highest individual score in the history of ODI cricket and no one has come close to beating it in the last 4 years.

#1 Martin Guptill - 237*(163 balls) vs West Indies, 2015

Martin Guptill

Martin Guptill is one of the most destructive batsmen of the modern era. He played a superlative knock of unbeaten 237 in the quarter-final of 2015 World Cup against West Indies to take his team through to the semi-finals single-handedly.

It is one of the best knocks in the history of knock-out games in the ICC tournaments.
