Ranking the Top 10 ODI Cricketers in the World Right Now

6. Quinton de Kock

The new captain of the South African cricket in wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock has been rising through the ranks rather quickly with his consistent run in ODI cricket. The southpaw who is just 27 years old has 15 hundreds to his name at an impressive average of 44.

Quinton De Kock already has 10th most ODI runs by a South African. And 5th most T20 international runs by a South African. He is among the top ODI players at the moment.

The major problem with him was his consistency and that being sorted out now, the South African team management will surely look up to him to take the team forward.

7. Faf du Plessis

The former South African captain is a loyal servant to the South African cricket for almost 10 years now. He made his debut as a 25 year old youngster with massive potential and has developed leaps and bounds since then.

He is not rated as high as other best players in the world because of the fact that his runs in the last 3 years have come in the losing cause. The amount of runs he has scored in the last 3 years has taken his game to a whole new level. He is a dangerous customer with the bat and can turn the game in no time with his power hitting.

8. Mitchell Starc

The left arm tearaway quick from New South Wales is one of the best limited overs bowler in the world right now. His ability to rattle the batsmen with ease even when there is nothing on offer for the bowlers is something that makes him to enter this list.

He is a man of big moments and his world cup numbers are prime example of how strong a character he is.

10. Ben Stokes

The #1 all-rounder in the cricketing world has achieved great heights in his 9 year old career. The astounding fact is that he is just 28 years old with already having so much legacy and reputation behind him.

He was the man for the England in final of the cricket world cup in 2019. He is the man for England whenever they are in crisis situation. He bowls, fields, bats and does everything a captain could ask for. He is a dream for any captain to have him in the team.

The amount of impact he brings to the table cannot be explained by numbers. No scorecard can show his innumerous spells with the ball which helped the other bowlers to get wickets because of the pressure exerted by him.
