We have seen plenty of cricketers who are either great batsmen or great bowlers, but not often do we come across players who are equally gifted in both aspects of this beautiful game of cricket.

All-rounders provide teams with the right balance and allow teams to tinker with their combination without looking like they are lacking in any particular department. Teams that have a couple of all-rounders in their teams have often been a force to reckon as it gives them plenty of options.

We have seen the likes of Jacques Kallis, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sanjay-manjrekar-responds-after-a-fan-calls-ravindra-jadeja-the-best-indian-all-rounder-after-kapil-dev/"><strong>Kapil Dev</strong></a>, Imran Khan, etc. entertain us with their all-round brilliance, and the current generation of cricketers certainly has no dearth of quality all-rounders.

On that note, here’s a look at the top 5 all-rounders in limited-overs cricket at present:

Mitchell Santner has established himself as a key player in New Zealand’s team and is their premier spinner in LOI’s. He even captained the Kiwis in a couple of T20Is against West Indies and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/photos/4318071844890170" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pakistan</strong></a> recently.

He primarily bats at either No.7 or No.8 and has played some crucial knocks lower down the order. The 28-year-old is pretty good with the ball and is very economical. His economy rates of 4.89 and 7.49 in OD’s and T20Is respectively are a testament to the way he ties down opposition batsmen.

The bowling all-rounder averages 27.17 in ODIs and 16.45 in T20Is and has the ability to score quickly. He has picked up 71 wickets in 72 50-over games and is New Zealand’s 4th highest wicket-taker in the shortest form of the game having picked up 54 wickets in 48 games at a strike rate of 17.6. Santner is a decent fielder as well and is undoubtedly one of the most underrated cricketers at present.

Afghanistan’s rise in international cricket has been one of the stories of the decade, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-mohammad-nabis-lionhearted-effort-brings-the-renegades-victory-drought-to-a-halt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mohammad Nabi</strong></a> has played a central role in this fairytale journey. With highly consistent performances with both bat and ball, he has been their most important player along with Rashid Khan.

He has scored 2817 runs in 127 ODIs at an average of 27.61 and picked up 132 wickets while conceding runs at just 4.3. The 36-year-old has played 78 T20Is and scored 1347 runs at a strike rate of 145.3 and has also chipped in with 69 wickets.

He has delivered several crucial performances including a stunning 64 along with 2 wickets against India in the 2018 Asia Cup. His all-round brilliance helped the Afghans tie the game in what is their best result against the top teams. The off-spinner is No.2 in ICC’s ODI rankings for all-rounders and is at the top in the T20I rankings, showing how good he is.

Ravindra Jadeja’s career in the shorter formats of the game hit a roadblock in 2017 when he was dropped from the squad in favour of an attacking spin combination of Yuzvendra Chahal and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-vs-england-mohammed-siraj-surprises-kuldeep-yadav-hilariously-by-grabbing-him-by-the-back-of-his-neck-in-animated-manner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kuldeep Yadav</strong></a>. However, he came back into the team during the 2018 Asia Cup and has kept his place in the team as the spin bowling all-rounder.

The 32-year-old’s batting has been quite outstanding over the last couple of years and add that to his miserly bowling spells, you have an all-rounder of the highest quality. He generally comes in at No.7 and averages 32.58 in ODI’s. He has also picked up 188 wickets in 168 games and has an excellent economy rate of 4.92.

He has scored 217 runs in 50 T20Is, numbers which are acceptable, bearing in mind his recent batting form. The Gujarat-born player has picked up 39 wickets and has an incredible economy rate of just 7.1. He is arguably the best fielder in the world and is one of the most complete players at present.

He is arguably the most complete all-rounder in the game. He could potentially be played as either a specialist batsman or a bowler, and he would still do an excellent job.

In ODI cricket, he has scored 6436 runs in 209 matches and picked up 266 wickets. He has scored 1567 runs and picked up 92 wickets in 76 T20Is, and is the 3rd highest wicket-taker in the history of T20I cricket.

He generally bats at either No.3 or No.4 and is the team’s main batsman. As a bowler, he is very disciplined and doesn’t give away a lot of runs in addition to getting wickets. If he continues playing the way he is, then he will definitely be remembered as one of the greatest all-rounders of all time.

The Englishman is one of the finest all-rounders in the game and has played a key role in his country’s recent dominance in the shorter formats of the game. With the ability to score runs at a brisk pace and pick up wickets at key moments, he is the type of player every team would love to have.

Ben Stokes has scored 2682 runs in 95 ODIs and also picked up 70 wickets. He has scored 358 runs in 29 T20Is and managed to get 16 wickets. In addition to his batting and bowling, he is also a terrific fielder.

The 29-year-old played one of the best innings in the history of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-will-have-to-step-down-as-captain-if-india-dont-win-the-odi-or-t20-world-cup-monty-panesar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Cup</strong></a> finals in 2019 when he helped his side to their first-ever 50-over title.
