Top five players with the longest one-day international cricket careers

On June 26, 2020, former team India captain Mithali Raj has completed 21 years of her international cricket career. She began her journey with a sublime hundred on debut against Ireland in 1999 and her juggernaut is still going strong even after 21 years. ## Mithali Raj has the longest international career among the women player and only woman with 20+ years of career. But when it comes to an ODI career, Mithali is right up there after the legends Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya. ## Here we are taking you through top 5 players with the longest ODI career whether its men or women:## 1. Sachin Tendulkar (22 years, 91 days) - Sachin Tendulkar does not need any introduction. The man who inspired the current generation to make a career in cricket has the longest runs in the one-day internationals. He started his ODI journey on 15 November 1989 against Pakistan at Jinnah Stadium which lasts long for more than 22 years as his last ODI outing came also against Pakistan at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. During his long ODI career, the master blaster played 463 ODIs and scored 18426 runs at an average of 44.83. To get those runs, he scored 49 hundred including a double hundred against South Africa and 96 half-centuries. The legendary batsman broke many records in his career and left many to break in which a few are, the highest number of matches, the highest number of runs, most hundred and half-centuries. ## 2. Sanath Jayasuriya (21 years, 184 days) - Arguably one of the greatest batsmen Sri Lanka has ever produced, Sanath Jayasuriya was naturally an attacking batsman who liked to dominate bowlers from the very first ball. The left-hander took the crease for the first time on 26 December 1989, almost a month after Sachin Tendulkar began his ODI journey against Australia at Melbourne which ended on 28 June 2011 against England at Kennington Oval. He played 445 ODIs and scored 13430 runs at an average of 32.13 with 28 hundred and 68 half-centuries. ## 3. Mithali Raj (21 years, 00 days)* - The only current player with more than 21 years of career, Mithali Raj has been one of the greatest woman cricketers in the history of cricket. She started her journey with a sublime hundred on debut against Ireland on 26 June 1999 and still going strong. Mithali was just 16 and a half-year-old when she made her ODI debut which was going to be written in history books. So far, Mithali Raj has played 209 ODIs and has scored 6888 runs at an impressive average of 50.64 with 7 hundred and 53 half-centuries. The former India captain is the only player among the top 10 leading run-getters in women ODIs to have 50+ average. She is also the most capped woman ODI player. Mithali has a real chance to break Sachin's record for the longest ODI career as she is eyeing 2021 world cup and beyond. ## 4. Chris Gayle (20 years, 288 days)* - Naturally an attacking batsman, Chris Gayle has been a revolution in ODI cricket. He may not look technically a good batsman but his hand-eye coordination and ability to hit the ball hard is enough to threaten the bowlers. He made his ODI debut against India on 11 September 1999 at Toronto CSCC and has played 300 ODIs so far in which he has made 10480 runs at an average of 37.70 with 25 hundred and 54 half-centuries. Gayle is one of the two players who has scored a double hundred in the world cup. ## 5. Javed Miandad (20 years, 272 days) - A batting maestro who scripted a few unrealistic victories for Pakistan, Javed Miandad was a synonym of spirit and spunk in the Pakistan cricket. Miandad will forever be remembered for his six off the last ball of Chetan Sharma in the Austral-Asia Cup final in Sharjah in 1986. He made his ODI debut against West Indies on 11 June 1975 at Edgbaston and played 233 ODIs and scored 7381 runs at an average of 41.47 with 8 hundred and 50 half-centuries. His last ODI outing came against India in the 1996 world cup at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Miandad has been hailed as one of the best batsmen Pakistan has ever produced. ## Note - stats as of 26 June 2020.## Stay tuned...

Harmanpreet, Mandhana Came In Support Of Powar And Want Him To Continue As Coach

After the Mithali Raj and head coach Ramesh Powar's controversy, India's T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur and her deputy Smriti Mandhana came in support of Ramesh Powar who was ready to axed from head coach role and want him continue as coach as both the players feel that India improved a lot under the coaching of former Indian all-rounder.## Significantly, India's ODI captain Mithali Raj surprisingly was benched in the semi-final of the World T20 a few days ago against England and it cost India's exit from the tournament. However, Raj blamed coach Powar for her exclusion and wrote a letter to BCCI and made serious allegations on him saying he was out there to "humiliate and destroy" her.## After the incident, Powar didn't receive an extension of his contract with the BCCI sending out an invitation for fresh applications for the position. However, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana came out in support of him and writing to the BCCI about his positive contributions as head coach of the team and said Raj's exclusion from the playing XI was purely team management's decision (confirmed by CRICBUZZ).## "I am writing to bring it under your notice that how tremendously our team has gone under positive changes in the past few months and has set a benchmark in the world's top teams. Our defeat in the semi-finals was very disheartening and it brings us all to feel more miserable to see how the controversies have stained our image and questioned the entire cricket fraternity," wrote Harmanpreet in an email published by Hindustan Times.## "(sic) Ramesh Powar not only improved us as players but did motivate us to set targets and challenge our own limits. He has changed the faced (sic) of Indian women's cricket team both technically and strategically. He has inculcated in us the sense of winning."## "The decision was entirely based on the cricketing logic and observations from the past. Keeping in mind the need of the hour, me, Smriti, selector Sudha Shah and the coach together in the presence of our manager felt that we should go ahead with the winning combination," the letter further added before urging the BCCI to allow Powar to continue as coach.## "Cutting the conversation short, I, as the T20 captain and ODI vice-captain is appealing before you to allow Powar to further continue as our team coach. There are hardly 15 months for the next T20 World Cup and a month to go for the New Zealand tour. The way he has transformed us into a team, I feel no reason to replace him."## Mandhana added, "It is important for Indian cricket's growth that everybody is on the same page and I believe that any difference can be amicably resolved via discussion."## Ramesh Powar hit back on Raj saying she "blackmailing and pressurising coaches and puts her selfish interests ahead of the team." after she accused him of humiliating and destroy her. The support of Kaur and Mandhana came out as a boost for him as he could reapply for the post.## For more updates and news, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading.
