Ranking top 10 ODI batsmen of 2020
On the whole, it was also a year where the batsmen from around the world had sparkling run with their blade.
8. Shai Hope
Shai Hope, who is often referred to as the epitome of the West Indies ODI batting line-up, once again came out as their top performer. From his six ODI matches in 2020 Hope has amassed 282 runs with an average of 47.
Despite having a prolific series against India in December 2019 Hope had a dreadful ODI series against Ireland earlier. From his three outings in that series, Hope didn’t even cross the 50-run mark. Regardless of his insubstantial runs tally, West Indies had a series win against Ireland.
Later on, during the tour of Sri Lanka where the West Indies were completely clean-swept, Hope made a majestic comeback. He launched himself by scoring a profound hundred which ensured the West Indies a first innings score of 289 in the first ODI. The following two ODIs again showed Hope’s consistency where he played two crucial knocks (51, 72) for his team.
