Scoring sufficient runs in almost every match is the identity of a great batsman. The batting average denotes how much score a batter can achieve from one inning to another. While some batsmen manifest their dream to perform in every match in a single season for the champion trophy, there are those names too who hold exceptional batting averages in all champion trophy matches they have played. Let’s delve into the records for the highest batting average in the Champions trophy.
Saeed Anwar, a former Pakistan opener, has been mostly productive with his bat in the ICC Champions Trophy. Flawless timing and accurate judgment of balls made him launch impressive shots that captivated the crowd regardless of the nation they supported. He culminated his four innings of the Champions Trophy with a remarkable average of 144.50 while staying unbeaten twice. Ruling over bowlers came naturally to him. Besides Anwar, seasoned cricketer and allrounder in the Indian team, Ravindra Jadeja whose role is to speed up the inning to add more runs for the team during the last overs, has an outstanding average of 95 in four innings. The importance of making runs in each match is undeniable while the conditions, opponent, pitch, and weather keep shuffling.
Dominating in the list of batting averages is worth an achievement for a batsman. Handling pressure in critical circumstances can also result in memorable innings that stay unparalleled for a long time.
