TOP 4 BATSMAN IN THE WORLD CRICKET
-
VIRAT KOHLI -
Does this man even need an introduction? Virat is the best batsman I. World cricket right now in all the formats (test, ODI, T 20). He is ranked number one in tests. He recently became the second fastest to 24 test centuries, achieving the fan7 feat in 123 innings, next to Sir DON BRADMAN.
Virat scores his runs 8n tests at a strike of almost 60. His average was 54.66 in Test and 58.21 in ODIs. These are some mid-bogging stats. He is known to rotate the strike more than any player and is one the fittest player in this current Indian team.
There were always doubts regarding Virat's technique in England conditions, and he gave all of his doubters a mouth-shutting reply when he dominated the batting charts in the recently concluded England -India Test series.
With age still on his side and his fitness better than ever. Virat is sure to go a long way and cement his spot as the number one batsman globally.
2. KEN WILLIAMSON -
One of the best and calmest captains in World cricket at the moment. He is the fulcrum of the New Zealand bast man and is an excellent batsman across all three formats. Kan is a world-class leader, and even better batsman, and, more importantly, a true gentleman of this wonderful game.
Williamson won the orang cap in 2016 at IPL and led SRH to the biggest domestic T20 tournament finals. He scored his runs at a strike rate of more than 140, which shows what impact he had in the tournament. He can truly succeed anywhere in the world.
3.JOE ROOT -
The skipper of the England Test team is a threat to any team and on any given conditions. The root is a fantastic player of spin and an even better player of the swinging ball. He has a calm head and is still very young at the moment. Some may doubt his T20 prowess, but the fact is, his T20 strike rates have gone up along with his batting average. Joe is a fantastic leader and, more importantly, a reliable batsman.
The root is firm on the off-side of the field. He is an ideal batman in the ODI and Test format. He is one of the very few batsmen who possesses the talent to play according to the situation.
4. STEVE SMITH -
The format captain of the Australian team is serving a ban alongside David Warner. He has been out of International action for more than 6 months and is still in the number 2 ICC Test ranking. This shows how good a player he is.
Smith is an impact player who likes to play a long inning every time he goes out to bat. His wicket is always heavily prized, and if given a reprieve, he is sure to make it count.
Smith will return to international cricket a month before the World Cup will start. Given the versatile batsman, no one should be surprised if he is drafted straight away into the squad.
