Even though cricket is a team sport, all-rounders have the biggest impact on the game. They can influence the match with both their batting and bowling, making them very valuable to any team. Some of the greatest players in cricket history, like Kapil Dev, Gary Sobers, Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee, and Jacques Kallis, were all-rounders. They could compete with the best batsmen and also challenge the top bowlers.
There are two types of all-rounders: batting all-rounders and bowling all-rounders. Batting all-rounders are better at batting but can also bowl well. Bowling all-rounders are better at bowling but can also bat well.
Some of the most valuable players in cricket today are all-rounders who can bat and bowl in all three formats of the game. They are rare and need to work very hard to stay fit and extend their careers, given the busy schedule of international cricket.
Now, let’s look at the top 10 best all-rounders in the world.
