#4 Ricky Ponting
Ricky Ponting was Australia’s most prolific run scorer in ODI cricket. The aggressive right-hander was a free-flowing stroke maker in Australia’s formidable middle order during their golden run in international cricket. A quality player against pace, Ponting pulled and hooked with full command to tonk the best of bowling attacks and score some mammoth tons.
Ponting's batting got better with him taking over as the skipper of the Australian ODI team. An electrifying fielder in the point and slips, Ponting took breath-taking catches and effected stunning run outs to change the course of many matches in Australia's favour. Australia's most successful ODI captain bagged an impressive 32 man of the match awards in his stellar career.
ODIs - 375
