Most Maiden Overs in ODI

Most Maiden Overs in ODI is the definitive benchmark of a bowler’s precision, discipline, and tactical ability to apply sustained pressure by denying batters any runs in an entire over. This record for immaculate control is held by South African legend Shaun Pollock.
Pollock delivered a staggering 313 maiden overs throughout his career, utilizing his clinical line and length to stifle even the most aggressive batters. He is followed by Glenn McGrath and Chaminda Vaas. As of 2026, with the advent of power-hitting and batter-friendly rules, bowling a maiden has become an increasingly rare and valuable feat. This statistic represents more than just defensive success; it serves as a symbol of tactical dominance, where each scoreless over builds the psychological pressure necessary to force mistakes and secure critical wickets in the 50-over format.
