Top-5 Batsmen With the Most 2s in ODIs: In ODI cricket, scoring runs by running between the wickets is considered very important. Batsmen have to play the ball in the gap for a single or double run. The batsmen should also have good speed while running between the wickets, so that there is additional pressure on the fielders. Because sometimes this can lead to mis-fielding and can also lead to an extra run. In ODI cricket, the decisive moment of the match is usually in the middle overs. Considering the middle overs in today’s ODI cricket, batsmen need to be able to score 5+ runs per over and save their wickets as it is a long match. In such a situation, if the batsman knows the art of taking double runs, then he can easily score 5-6 runs per over.
