Left-handers have always been recognized with elegance and fluency. The difference in style and stance has a huge impact on technique and the approach of a left-hander vis a vis a right-hander. Cricket has produced many such prolific run getters and accumulators who have won the hearts of their fellow fans.

A common attribute for the southpaws is their ability to play it through the off-side, quite a few legends enjoyed scoring on one side of the ground predominantly. Asians and West Indians mainly dominate the list which contains one batsman from Australia and New Zealand too. Following is the list of the 10 most prolific left-handed run scorers in the ODI format.

The former New Zealand captain, one of the most successful and charismatic players to lead his country, has amassed 8037 runs in ODIs, mainly as an opener or in the top 4, up against the swinging ball in bowler friendly conditions.
