KL Rahul is slowly becoming one of the best at No. 5.

KL Rahul has reached four ODI hundreds at No. 5, a mark that places him among the most productive batters ever to bat in that position. The milestone raises a wider question: who has scored the most centuries at No. 5 in ODI cricket history?

Yuvraj Singh leads with seven, ahead of AB de Villiers on six. Six batters sit on five, and Rahul is one of six on four. Here is the full list of batters with at least four hundreds at No. 5.

Who has scored the most centuries at No. 5 in ODI cricket?

Yuvraj Singh holds the record with seven hundreds at No. 5, scored across 92 innings between 2000 and 2017. His 3,040 runs came at an average of 39.48 and a strike rate of 87.58, with a highest score of 139.

AB de Villiers is second with six, and his numbers stand out for efficiency. He needed only 42 innings, averaged 77.96 and scored at 108.97 runs per 100 balls, with a best of 162*. Yuvraj took more than twice as many innings.

Six batters follow on five hundreds each: Charith Asalanka, Tom Latham, Eoin Morgan, Shakib Al Hasan, Sikandar Raza and Andrew Symonds. Raza got there in 54 innings, the fewest of the six, while Shakib needed 132.

The table below ranks every batter with a minimum of four hundreds at No. 5 in ODIs.

What is KL Rahul's record at No. 5 in ODIs?

Rahul has scored 1,646 runs in 36 innings at No. 5 between 2017 and 2026, with 12 not-outs. His average of 68.58 is the second-best among all 14 batters in the table, behind only de Villiers.

He has also scored quickly, at a strike rate of 103.19, and his highest score in the position is an unbeaten 129. Alongside his four centuries, he has 10 fifties, and he has not been dismissed for a duck in any of those 36 innings.

Of the six batters with four centuries, only Milind Kumar reached the mark in fewer innings. Klaasen took 41, Miller 43, Collingwood 80, and Dhoni 83. Rahul now needs three more to equal Yuvraj's record, a target that looks distant but not out of reach at a hundred roughly every nine innings.
