The Grinders: Top 10 Batsmen with Most 2s in ODIs
Boundaries are praised in the fast-paced world of One Day International cricket, but a player's ability to run between the wickets is what really makes an innings. It takes not only lightning-fast speed but also amazing communication skills and a thorough awareness of the opposition's field placements to convert a single into a double. These "twos" put tremendous pressure on the fielding side while adding vital runs to the scoreboard without taking any chances. The batsmen on this list have more mastery of the double than any other person in history, making them the real workhorses of ODI cricket.
