Top 5 ODI Batsmen in 2019

Batting is always the backbone of an ODI team when it comes to cricket. Not only, a batsman can set huge total for the opponent side in a cricket match, but also can help chase impossible targets for his team. The days are gone when 200+ sums were considered enough to defend while batting first. With the advent of T20 Cricket, now a days 300+ score too is not enough. So, aggression and confrontation have now become the tools for the Batsmen to drag their teams to the victories. However, some times it is not enough when pitches are tough to play, so the batsmen have to adopt pitch conditions and score runs for their team.

This is what we saw in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, where batsmen played an important role on bouncy and tricky pitches. Mighty batsmen fell for the traps, but sensible batting helped Batsmen in CWC 2019 to get victory for their teams. Here is the list of Top 5 ODI Batsmen in 2019 for which you are looking for.

2. Rohit Sharma (India)

Opening is the most crucial part of the innings when it comes to batting. Not Only, aggressive batting style can earn more runs for the team in the first power play of the innings, but also it sets the momentum for the rest of the match. Rohit Sharma plays the role of the opener for team India and he is the most perfect batsman to do the job. The Indian Hitman can hit sixes, but also can get easy singles when needed.

Sharma had a successful tournament in the CWC 2019. He scored most runs in this mega tournament by hitting the score of 648 runs in nine games. He scored five hundreds in this season of world cup. That is why he holds the second spot on our list of Top five ODI batsmen in 2019.
