Playing 3 formats is not an easy job to do. It demands full fitness from a player – both mentally and physically.
A batsman adapting to all three formats and performing brilliantly in all three is an asset to any team.
Very few batsmen were able to do well in ODI, Tests, & T20s. On that note, I see Kane Williamson and Rohit Sharma shined better in this year across formats.
The table below will have the highest run-scorers of this year, 2021 in all three possible formats combined.
