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.
2. KL Rahul
If one had to define KL Rahul’s 2020 in a nutshell then one can perhaps call him a mainstay of India in limited-overs cricket. Rahul in his nine ODIs was India’s highest run-getter amassing 443 runs at an average of 55.37. By donning the keeper’s role routinely it looks like Rahul has now established his constancy in the playing XI.
Rahul’s splendid run first took its course when he played a game-changing knock (80 off 52 balls) against Australia. The knock was a flawless affair as it didn’t even justify his flung at no.5 position. Continuing his solidarity at no.5 he was India’s second-highest run-getter in ODIs against New Zealand amassing 204 runs from three innings.
After grabbing the Orange Cap in the IPL, Rahul continued his vibrant form when he scored a brilliant 66-ball 76 in the second ODI against Aussies. His versatility and adaptability to bat at any number is an added aid for this Indian team who is still continuing with his lower-middle order woes.
