#4 Ricky Ponting – 47
Next up is the only non-Asian batsman on this list, former Australian kingpin Ricky Ponting. Batting at no.3 for the best part of two decades, he instilled fear into the opposition’s minds and dominated the bowlers from the get-go. He also shared fruitful partnerships with Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist, and Justin Langer, the openers of the Test and ODI team at that time. But surprisingly, despite that fact and his obvious fitness, he was run out an astonishing 47 times.
One of his most famous run outs came way back in 2005 during the Ashes test series when substitute fielder Gary Pratt ran him out at a key moment in the match, raising the ire of the Australian Captain at England’s excessive high-quality substitute fielder to give their bowlers the much-needed rest.
