Highest Individual Score in ODI in the First innings

In One Day International, when the batsmen of a cricket team are in form and make big runs then it strengthens the inning in the direction of a big total on the scoreboard. When a team puts a huge score then it also helps their bowler in the second inning to do practicals with the balls and become more attacking to take the wickets as they have got enough runs. There are many batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Rohit Sharma, Martin Guptill, Shane Watson, Saeed Anwar, Sir Viv Richards, Sanath Jayasuriya, and many more who have already contributed a lot for their team with the bat.
