List of One Day International cricket records

This is a list of One-Day International cricket records, that record team and individual performances in One Day International (ODI) cricket. Like the Test cricket and its records, ODI matches generate vast numbers of statistics which have been logged since the first ODI matches began in 1971. The Cricket World Cup is the most major of many ODI tournaments held between the 16 teams currently given full ODI status by the International Cricket Council.

Numerous batting, bowling and fielding records exist. Sachin Tendulkar currently holds the record of most ODI runs and the highest number of centuries, while Michael Bevan, the Australian cricketer, holds the best batting average of any retired player.

Listing criteria

In general the top five are listed in each category (except when there is a tie for the last place among the five, when all the tied record holders are noted).

Listing notation
