Who is the greatest batsman in ODI history?

Nasir Hussain said during a conversation with Sky Sports, ‘I believe that only two middle -order batsmen have been in ODI cricket, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. Talking about the middle overs, the route is also very special. Those who have the ability to build a big innings in the route middle overs. The best thing about the root is that he has the best ability to push a good ball into the gap and steal single.
