Stats: Top 10 highest individual scores at the SCG

After getting whitewashed at the hands of the Proteas very recently, the Aussies would have hoped to turn around their fortunes with the ODI series against New Zealand and the Sydney crowd witnessed a brilliant knock from their captain Steve Smith in the very 1st ODI of the series. It was a scintillating century from the Aussie skipper which enabled the hosts to post a mammoth 324/8 in their allotted 50 overs.

Smith was the lone warrior in the battlefield as he kept losing partners, especially in the first 20 overs. At one stage the hosts were precariously placed at 92/4 and it was the 4th wicket partnership between Smith and Travis Head that bailed the hosts out of trouble.

Courtesy his brilliant innings which was decorated with 14 fours and 4 sixes, Smith went past AB de Villiers to become the highest individual scorer in Sydney. SCG has been traditionally a high-scoring ground and batsman from all over the world have cherished playing at this ground.

The top 10 list of the highest individual scores in Sydney including the likes of many greats of the game. AB de Villiers comes 2nd in the list just behind Smith with his brilliant 162 against the Caribbeans in a Tri-Nation series match.

The Proteas hard-hitting batsman is followed by Andrew Symonds and Yuvraj Singh who scored brilliant centuries against Sri Lanka and Australia respectively. While Symonds made 151, Yuvi scored 139.

Four other Australians are also a part of the list including opening partners and legends of the game Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden. Former Aussie captain and Indian coach Greg Chappell also finds a place in the top 10.

Alan Border and David Warner two southpaws of two different generations also makes the cut. Former English middle order batsman Jonathan Trott is the lone Englishman to make it to the list.
