‘Bunny’ is a word used in cricket to define a batter, bowler, or sometimes even a team as a whole when a certain player completely owns them with the performances.
Here in this article, we will see the batters and their favorite opponent teams (or their bunnies) against whom they scored the most number of ODI centuries. These batters have been a big threat to particular opponents who have made greater impacts on the sides’ head-to-head stats single-handedly. For example, the Indian batters Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma’s records against Sri Lanka have always been a defining factor in India vs Sri Lanka’s ODI head-to-head stats.
So, let’s get into the batting chart, which depicts the batters who have scored more than five ODI centuries against a single opponent.
