Top 5 batters who might be highest run-getters in 2024

2023 Saw several players breaking records and raking up runs across formats. There were a total of 11 players who scored more than 1500 runs in the last calendar year. Multiple records were made and multiple were broken by the batters in the last year and so would be expected this year as well. Indian batters dominated the last season, occupying three of the top five positions last year. They would be looking forward to a replica of the same this year as well. With the T20I World Cup approaching, the batters must be geared up to give their best and put up a great show with the bat. But it is not just the T20Is, but the batters who play through formats who eventually end up scoring the most runs in the year. Let us take a look at the batters who can be the prolific run-getters in 2024: 5. Yashasvi Jaiswal Yashasvi-Jaiswal. (Photo Source: Twitter/BCCI) Jaiswal has been on fire ever since he debuted for India. He has been scoring consistently and explosively across formats. He has been one of India’s highest run scorers through formats even though he is yet to play in the One Day Internationals. He is currently the leading run-scorer in the Tests this year among all nations playing four matches so far. He has also been Rohit’s opening partner in the T20Is for India where he has been scoring aggressively. With the T20I World Cup ahead, he would be one player to keep an eye on. 4. Kane Williamson Kane Williamson. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Kane Williamson was out of competitive cricket for major parts last year which impacted New Zealand cricket as well. From the time he has come back to international cricket, he has been sensational. In just three innings of two tests he has played so far, he has smashed 270 runs already which consists of two centuries and has an astonishing average of 90 so far. He has played two T20I games as well where he scored 83 runs. He has looked in great touch this year and being the multi-format player, he can be one of the top run-getters of the tournament. 3. Virat Kohli Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: BCCI) When you talk about players scoring the most runs in a year, you have to talk about Virat Kohli. He is undoubtedly the ‘Run Machine’, which he is famously regarded as. He amassed an astonishing total of 2048 runs in the last year across formats where he played a total of 35 matches and had an average of 66.06. Currently, he has been out of competitive cricket due to unknown personal reasons but would be expected to come back soon and start scoring heavily for the team. He is the most consistent batter and would surely be a name among the top at the end of the year. Also Check: List of Virat Kohli international & IPL centuries2. Travis Head Travis-Head.

He also plays across formats for his team and can be the highest run-getter for Australia and find his name among the world’s best as well. He played a total of 31 matches last year where he batted in 42 innings and with an average of 43.53, he amassed 1698 runs which included three centuries and nine half-centuries. He would be expected to continue with the same run this year as well for his nation. 1. Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma.

He was phenomenal last year and a key behind India’s success in the 2023 World Cup in reaching the finals as he played several heroic knocks. During the fag end of the year, he smashed a sensational century in the T20Is as well which broke multiple records. He smashed a total of 1800 runs from 39 innings of 35 matches where he struck four centuries and 11 half-centuries last year. He is currently playing the Test series for India and with the T20I World Cup ahead this year, Rohit would be leading the side and doing it with example.
