5 batsman most run out in odi: Many players showed their batting skills on the cricket field, but in the battle of 'coordination' on the 22 yard strip, these greats often got defeated. Being run out is the most disappointing ending for any batsman. Along with two big legends of Pakistan, stylish batsmen from Sri Lanka and Australia are also included in this list. The most surprising name is that of a former Indian captain, whose agility was much talked about, but he also got caught in the race between the crease.

5 batsmen have been run out the most number of times in One Day International cricket.
New Delhi. Being run out is the most mentally tiring moment for any batsman. Because it is not his batting technique that defeats him, but the circumstances and coordination. While players like Inzamam ul Haq were out because of their fitness and laziness, players like Akram and Azhar became victims because of taking too many risks. These figures show that as important as scoring runs is in cricket, maintaining one's presence on the 22-yard line is more important.
Whenever it comes to running out in cricket, the first name that comes to mind is former Pakistan captain Inzmam-ul-Haq. Inzamam was known for his classic batting and calm nature, but he was always seen struggling when it came to scoring runs. He was run out a maximum of 38 times in 322 innings of his ODI career. The stories of Inzamam being run out are still famous in the circles of cricket. It was often seen that he would make up his mind to run after playing the ball, but would stop midway or put his teammates in trouble. His laziness and lack of coordination took him to the pinnacle of this unwanted record.

Akram was run out 38 times in 280 innings.
The surprising thing is that along with Inzamam, Pakistan's great fast bowler and former captain Wasim Akram jointly occupies the number-1 position in this list. Akram also became the victim of run out 38 times in 280 ODI innings in his career. Akram often came to bat lower in the order and tried to score runs quickly in the last overs of the match. Due to this aggression and efforts to steal runs on every ball, he was often unable to protect his crease. As valuable as his batting was for the team as an all-rounder, his run out was an equally big blow for the team.
Atapattu returned to the pavilion after being run out 37 times in 230 innings.
Former Sri Lankan opening batsman and captain Marvan Attaptu was famous for his solid technique and marathon innings. In his ODI career, he returned to the pavilion after being run out 37 times in 230 innings. As an opener, Atapatu's job was to weave the innings, but perhaps the lack of coordination during running or the excellent fielding of the opposition team cost him time and again. This legend, who played 268 ODI matches for Sri Lanka, being run out so many times is considered a small stain on his brilliant career.
Azharuddin was known for his leopard-like agility on the field.
The most shocking name in this entire list is that of former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin. Azhar was known for his wristy shots and leopard-like agility on the field. He was counted among the best fielders in the world, but while batting, he was run out 32 times in 308 innings. Azhar's running was very fast, but perhaps his habit of taking risks or the lack of coordination with his teammates brought him to this list. He is at the top among the players who have been run out the most number of times in ODIs for India. As a captain, the fall of his wickets often became the reason for the downfall of Indian batting.
Mark Waugh failed to reach the crease 32 times
Australia's elegant batsman Mark Waugh is also a part of this list jointly with Azharuddin. Mark Waugh was famous for his stylish batting and excellent fielding in the slips, but he also failed to reach the crease 32 times in 236 innings. The run out of Steve Waugh's brother and this important pillar of the Kangaroo team often spoiled the rhythm of the Australian innings.
