Rating Points in Cricket are one way to find the best of players in any format of Cricket.
For Batsmen, the rating points are simple.
It ranges from 0-1000.
Batsmen with 500+ Ratings are decent enough.
If a batsman moves to 750+, he is capable of reaching the top-20 Batsmen.
And when a batsman crosses the 900 Rating points mark, he is already a legend. It is as simple as it is.
You can read CricIndeed’s definite guide on “How ICC Rankings are calculated?” to know deep into this topic.
Currently, there are 12 Batsmen who have reached the 900 mark in ODI Batsmen ratings; 31 batsmen in Test Cricket.
