Top 5 players to score the most boundaries in the first over in ODI cricket

1. Virender Sehwag (India) – 83 boundaries

Tamim is without a doubt the finest opening batter to ever don the Bangladesh jersey. He is also the Bangladesh batter to score the most runs in the one-day format.

2. Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh) – 80 boundaries

The Indian opener is known to start an ODI innings with a bang. He is a player who knows how to take the full advantage of the powerplay. Rohit is not only an incredible opening batter but is also an amazing leader.

3. Rohit Sharma (India) – 63 boundaries

Gilchrist is one of the best Australian openers in history and that is a big feat considering how many quality openers Australia have had over the years. Along with being an explosive batter, he was also a brilliant wicket-keeper.

4. Adam Gilchrist (Australia) – 58 boundaries

Unlike the other players on this list who were all explosive batters, Amla wasn’t known for hitting sixes. However, he did very well know how to start an inning in an impressive way and he did so by playing beautiful strokes that went straight to the boundary ropes.
