4 Best Innnigs from Indian Batsman in ODI - All Time

1. MS Dhoni - 91* vs Sri Lanka in ICC WC Final , 2011

Wankhalde Stadium , Mumbai

THAT DAY IS STILL SO FRESH IN OUR MEMORIES . What a performance and what a World Cup. India captain MS Dhoni, promoting himself up the order, joined Gambhir and they both added 109 runs, an Indian record in a World Cup final. Gambhir got out for 97 runs after playing equally important knock in the 42nd over. India chased down the total and won the match by four wickets in the 49th over. Dhoni was declared the "man of the match" for scoring 91 runs while his compatriot Yuvraj Singh was awarded the "man of the series".

2. Mohammad Kaif - 87* vs England in Natwest Final , 2002

Lord's Cricket Ground, London

Remarkable moment in the Indian Cricket History.The time the winning runs were scored, Ganguly took off his shirt and waved from the Lord's balcony – which was a reply to a similar celebration by Andrew Flintoff in one of the matches when England toured India.What a Knock by Mohammad Kaif.Simply Unbeleivable .The Indian fans had started to walk back when Mohammad Kaif walked to the crease. Much to the shock of the local fans, Kaif (87), along with Yuvraj Singh (69), launched an incredible counter-attack as the duo stitched a match-winning 121-run partnership for sixth wicket to bring India back in game. Kaif declared as man of the match.

3.Kapil Dev - 175 * vs Zimbawe in WC 1983

Nevill Ground , Royal Tunbridge Wells

THE SKIPER RISES TO OCCASION.Kapil and Binny began to stitch a partnership together to bring India back into the game. While the Indian captain played aggressively, his partner Binny batted patiently. The two built a partnership of 60 to give the Indian fans something to cheer for.

However, John Traicos trapped Binny lbw and a few minutes later, Ravi Shastri was sent packing by Zimbabwe skipper Duncan Fletcher with India now at 78/7. However, Kapil was in no mood to throw in the towel and continued to smash the Zimbabwean bowlers to all parts of the ground. Following Madan Lal’s departure, Syed Kirmani arrived at the crease and played in a risk-free manner as Kapil raced to his century at the other end.

The 24-year-old eventually helped India to a total of 266/8 in 60 overs as he scored a mammoth 175 from just 138 deliveries, smashing 16 fours and 6 sixes. Kapil’s 175 was at the time the highest individual score in World Cup history, bettering Glenn Turner’s 171 for New Zealand against East Africa at Edgbaston during the 1975 World Cup.

4. Sachin Tendulkar - 143 vs Australia in Coca-Cola Cup Final

Sharjah Cricket Ground, Sharjah

SACHIN'S DESERT MASTERCLASS.That knock against Australia in Sharjah regarded as one of the greatest in ODI history. 20 years is a really long time. However, even today, the voice of late Tony Grieg still rings fresh in the collective minds of the Indian cricket fans as he narrated the exploits of a young batsman who, at 24, had already earned the status of a legend.
On April 22, 1998, against Australia, in the final league match of the Coca Cola Cup that also featured New Zealand, Tendulkar scored a magnificent 143 to take India into the summit clash of the tri-nation tournament. Needing to score at least 254 after being set 285 to win, to trump New Zealand on run-rate and qualify for the final, India's targets were revised from 285 (to win) and 254 (to qualify ) to 276 (to win) and 237 (to qualify) after a brief desert storm.
