#4. Adam Gilchrist- 94.08
One of the most feared openers in world cricket, Adam Gilchrist along with Matthew Hayden had formed the most feared opening partnership for Australia in the 21st century. The duo has played an unprecedented role in Australia’s glory days.
Gilchrist, in particular, has taken the bowlers to cleaners at will. The power hitting left-hander has scored his 382 runs at an astonishing strike rate of 94.08 over the first five editions before retiring in 2007.
