Best right-handed ODI XI from current cricketers
The list has been made with an attempt to pick players from as varied nationalities as possible.
4. Ross Taylor
Ross Taylor is the highest run-getter for New Zealand in ODI cricket. With 8581 runs in the format, he has not only etched himself as one of the great Blackcaps player but also has made himself eligible to be in discussions whenever an all-time ODI XI is made. His record in the last few years has been quite brilliant.
Having made his debut for New Zealand in 2006, Taylor almost instantly caught people’s attention for his ability to score quickly and hit big sixes. With time, he has toned down his aggression a bit, on and off the field. His change in attitude post the whole captaincy debacle made Taylor form his own great legacy with strong performances for his team.
A little look at his numbers batting at no. 4 will give you an idea why New Zealand has been so successful in the past few years. In 179 innings at no. 4, Taylor has scored 7664 runs with an average of 52.13. The no. 4 position is quite a difficult position to bat at and with the kind of record which he has, there is no one better suited to fill in this spot in this team.
