Who is the Best Batsman in the World?

Everyone has their own opinion about who the best batsman in cricket is, but what if we looked beyond subjective factors and looked at statistics?

Is that a reasonable response to the question? Would we be able to say with certainty who the best batsman in the world is right now?

That’s what we’re going to tell you right here: whether we can determine which cricketer is the best in the world at wielding the willow simply by looking at the numbers.

The MRF Tyres ICC Men’s Player Rankings are based on a complex moving average. A scale of 0 to 1000 points is used to rate players. If a player’s output improves over time, his points rise; if it declines, his points fall.

Who Is The No 1 Batsman In ICC Rankings? – 2021.

Babar Azam 

Pakistan captain Babar Azam has surpassed India captain Virat Kohli to become the No. 1 ranked ODI batsman, ending Kohli’s long reign at the top of the rankings. Babar’s classic 82-ball-94 against South Africa in the third One-Day International helped him gain 13 rating points and set a career-high of 865 points.

Babar Azam was born to a Punjabi Muslim family on October 15, 1994, in Lahore, Punjab. He is Kamran and Umar Akmal’s first cousin brother.

Babar Azam had been a disciplined cricketer since he was a teenager, and he had always known he wanted to be a cricketer.

He advanced rapidly through the age groups, moving from under-12 to under-14 to under-16.

Babar Azam, who was just 15 years old at the time, competed in the 2010 Under-19 World Cup. Babar opened the batting and led the team to the final, where they were defeated by Australia by 25 runs to finish second.

In 2012, he participated in his second Under-19 World Cup, this time as the captain of the Pakistan Cricket Team.

BABAR AZAM INTERNATIONAL CAREER:

In May 2015, Babar Azam made his international debut against Zimbabwe. He made his debut in the series’ third one-day international, scoring a half-century in his first game.

Later in October, he demonstrated his class in the first One-Day International against England, scoring an unbeaten 62-run innings to help Pakistan win the match. In that series, Babar scored 139 runs at an average of 46.33.

Babar Azam went on a rampage in the first match of the series in New Zealand, scoring 62 runs off 76 balls. He shone once more in the third ODI, this time with a 77-ball 83-run knock. He finished the series as the series’ leading run-getter, with 145 runs in two games at an average of 72.50.

On September 7, 2016, Babar made his T20 debut against England. In the game, he scored 15 runs on 11 balls.

Babar Azam became the joint-fastest and fastest Pakistani batsman to score 1000 runs in one-day cricket in his 21st appearance for Pakistan against Australia. He also finished the series as the series’ leading run-scorer, with 282 runs in 5 matches. In the final game of the series, he hit a thrilling century, becoming only the second Pakistani batsman in history to do so in Australia.
