The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 which was held in India revived the ODI format which was going silent in the past few years. Australia won the World Cup for a record-extending sixth time as Travis Head scored a terrific century in the finals of the World Cup. ODI Cricket was at a boom during 2023 and a lot of runs were scored in the year by batters across the globe.
However, the Indians have dominated the chart in the top-five run-getters in the 50-over format as there are three Indian batters in the top five charts for the most runs scored in 2023. They also dominated the World Cup list as the top two run-getters in the ODI World Cup were Indians.
