Scoring runs in a format for a batter is easy in the sense that they don’t have to change their game plan drastically. However, it is a huge challenge to adapt to the necessities of different formats, particularly for a batsman. This is why being an all-format batter and finding success in all of them is quite tough.
However, some batters find success in each of them despite challenges and come out with flying colours. This article reads into the batters who have performed well throughout 2024 across all the formats. Here we will see the top 10 batters with the most centuries in 2024.
