The 2023 ICC Men's ODI Cricket World Cup is the 13th edition of the Cricket World Cup. The tournament was hosted by India, began on 5 October and concluded on 19 November 2023. Ten national teams - Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka took part in the tournament. Australia defeated the host nation India in the Final by 6 wickets.

India hosted the Men's Cricket World Cup solely for the first time. The tournament took place in ten different stadiums. The first and second semi-finals was being played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and Eden Gardens in Kolkata respectively. At the same time, the final took place at Narendra Modi Stadium, in Ahmedabad.

Batsmen play responsibly and often score big totals, even double centuries. Only a few batters have consistently performed in the 2023 World Cup in India. Here at SportzPoint, we will see the list of the players who scored the most runs in the ODI World Cup 2023.

Most Runs in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023

India's Virat Kohli finished the tournament as the top scorer with 765 runs. He will likely finish with the most runs after the end of the campaign until some miracle happens. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is second on the list with 597 runs. He was the leading run-scorer at the 2019 World Cup, with 648 runs.

Quinton de Kock, who has decided to retire from the format after the World Cup, is the tournament's third-highest run-getter with 594 runs but South Africa got knocked out of the tournament in the Semi-Final. New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell is on the fifth spot after playing the 134-run mark against India in the Semi-Final while Rachin Ravindra is on the fourth spot with 578 runs in his debut World Cup.

Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni are the captains who have won the ICC trophy for India. On the other side, Virat Kohli could never win an ICC tournament as captain. However, when the discussion is about Test cricket, as a leader he appears miles ahead of both Dhoni and Rohit.

On this day, let us know what heights he touched in red-ball cricket and why Kohli's legacy as Test captain remains an example even today.

India lost only 17 tests under Virat's captaincy

Under Kohli's captaincy, Team India played 68 Tests, out of which it won 40 and lost 17 matches. Whereas 11 tests ended in a draw. In this way, Virat Kohli's tenure as Test captain was very successful. Kohli has been the most successful Indian Test captain.

Kohli also performed brilliantly as a batsman, especially on the pitches of countries like Australia, South Africa, England, and New Zealand.

Kohli's legacy as Test captain on Indian soil

Harbhajan Singh, the former Indian spinner took a dig at the Australian cricket team remembering the horrific umpiring during the 2007/08 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. During the Hindi commentary stint on Day 2 of the Pink Ball test at Adelaide, Harbhajan Singh did not waste the opportunity to criticise the umpiring Indian cricket faced in Down Under during that series.

Australia won the 2007/08 Border-Gavaskar Series by 2-1 in the four-test match series. However, the umpiring of Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson was highlighted throughout the series, especially during the Sydney test. 

The Aussies outplayed India in the first test at Melbourne where Matthew Hayden scored a sublime ton in the first inning. They won the test match by 337 runs to go 1-0 up in the series. 

But, the Indian team bounced back with a solid in the second test in Sydney. However, despite a brilliant show by the Indian batters and bowlers, India lost by 122 runs, especially due to dreadful umpiring by Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson.

Ricky Ponting suggesting the upmires that the catch taken by Micheal Clark was clean. 

First, Ricky Ponting had nicked off a delivery down the leg side and despite a big sound, Benson did not give him out. Later, Sourav Ganguly's edge was not taken cleanly and umpire Mark Benson gave that out despite the replay showing the opposite. 

Andrew Symonds, who was the player of the match in the second test, was clearly caught behind by MS Dhoni off Ishant Sharma's bowling but was not given out.  MS Dhoni stumped out Symonds from Anil Kumble's bowling, but Steve Bucknor did not even bother to check the stumping with the third umpire. 

The umpiring was so bad that Indian Express reported the match "India caught Benson, bowled Bucknor." 

While remembering all these decisions, Harbhajan Singh did not hold himself by mentioning that Steve Bucknor made his debut for Australia in that test and he was the 12th man for Australia in that test match.

Despite going down, India won the third test by 72 runs in Brisbane. However, India could not draw the series as the final test of the series at Adelaide was drawn.

Virat Kohl's scores in last 10 Test innings - Sportzpoint.com

Virat Kohli’s unusual dismissal in the Australia vs India 2nd Test in Adelaide has raised concerns over his current form. This year has been challenging for him. Virat scored a brilliant century (100* off 143) in the Perth Test, he scored his last Test half-century (70) against New Zealand in October 2024 in the first Test of the home series. But apart from these knocks, he has endured a disappointing season so far.

In the Perth Test, Virat Kohli scored a century after a long time. After this, the fans were hopeful that Kohli would continue his form in Adelaide also, but he proved to be a flop in front of the pink ball. Virat Kohli had scored only 7 and 11 runs in the first and second innings of the Adelaide Test respectively.

Notably, Virat Kohli's figures at the Adelaide Oval ground are quite impressive, but this time Virat's bat remained quiet in Adelaide. Kohli scored only 18 runs in both the innings of this match, which is Kohli's lowest score in a Test match in Australia in the last 12 years. That means he had scored more than 18 runs in every test match played in Australia in the last 12 years. Due to this poor performance, Kohli's average in Test cricket has also declined. Virat's average in Tests is now 47.72. Before this match, his average was 48.13.

To evaluate King Kohli's performance, it’s important to examine Virat Kohli's scores in the last 10 Test innings and analyze what the statistics reveal.

In the last 10 innings, Virat Kohli's scores have been 7, 11, 5, 100*, 4, 1, 1, 17, 0, and 70.  Virat is under pressure to prove once again that he is India’s top batter across all formats. He needs to convert his starts into substantial knocks to improve his low Test average this year.

For Australia, Travis Head scored a brilliant 140 runs, while Marnus Labuschagne made an important contribution of 64 runs.

India won the toss and elected to bat first, which backfired as Mitchell Starc turned into a monster with the pink ball and ran through India's batting line-up. India were bowled out for 180 runs and Starc picked up six wickets to his name. Australia, however, looked the opposite of India with the bat as they seemed untroubled by Indian bowlers. 

Travis Head's aggressive century

With Travis Head's aggressive century, Australia took a huge lead of 152 runs over India by scoring 332 runs for eight wickets till the dinner break in its first innings on Saturday, the second day of the second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Head, who opened his account with a brilliant four against Jasprit Bumrah (four wickets for 59 runs) on the second day of the day-night Test match, completed the eighth century of his Test career in 111 balls. Mohammad Siraj gave him life by taking a catch on Ashwin's ball at the score of 76 runs.

Head was troubled by Bumrah's balls in the beginning of the innings but he did not let the pressure dominate him by continuing to score runs by attacking other bowlers.

Brilliant fifty by Labuschagne 

Marnus Labuschagne was not in form for a long time and before this match, there was debate about his place in the team. He had started troubling India with the 26th half-century of his Test career when Yashasvi Jaiswal took a brilliant catch on the ball of young all-rounder Nitish Reddy and ended his innings.

While experienced Steve Smith (two), who came to the crease, failed even once with the bat. He was caught by Pant while trying to flick the ball of Bumrah.

In the second Test being played between India and Australia, the Indian captain Rohit Sharma was out after scoring just 3 runs off 23 balls in the first innings. He was dismissed by Scott Boland in the first inning, which raised the question on his test form again.

In the last 11 Test innings, Rohit has not been able to score any big runs. Rohit was unavailable for the first test and joined the team for the second test after the birth of his new born son. However, he was not back at his favourite position as KL Rahul's good show at the top of the order made him come down to middle order for the pink ball test.
