Which team has the best top 3 in ODIs right now?

[hassan918]

Considering everyone is fit and playing for their team, which top 3 batsmen would likely to win most matches for their team?

 

[MenInG]

I feel England are pretty strong but on home soil.... there is only one answer!

 

[Devadwal]

India top 3 is very strong not only in india but all over world .

 

[kingusama92]

India's top 3 is the best. At home even more so.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Tough one. But i will go with Rohit , Gill and Virat. They give vibes of reliability

 

[Rana]

Sri Lanka need Chandimal at 3 or 4

And Mathews at 6

 

[Ab Fan]

India's top 3 but they need to be more fearless rather than stats driven.

 

[Asad T]

In India, it would have to be the Indian top 3 for me. They are a combination of class, aggression and experience
England is a close #2 though

 

[Lampard]

Imam and Babar are consistently scoring runs. Only if Fakhar regains his form and starts scoring consistently as well then Pakistan.

with this technique i am sure Fakhar would have a same failuire in this worldcup too.

 

[kron]

Has to be England right? Or even Aussies.

 

[Firebat]

In normal circumstances you would say Warner, Head and Smith are far and away the best. But in Indian conditions means the India top 3 are slightly ahead.

Last 12 months performances by these guys. I don't think Root bats in top 3. It is Malan who bats there. Besides Root has a terrible average. Something like 9.

Last 12 months performances by these guys. Srilankan record has to be taken with a pinch of salt as they played qualifier where they played against a lot of associate sides.

 

[deltexas]

Has to be England and India.

correction !! India smith = Kohli , Srilanka smith = Kusal Mendis.

 

[Farabi]

Isn’t Travis head injured? If no, I’d go with Aus.
India and Eng are second tier.
Pak, SL, SA and NZ are third tier.

Obviously, India is the strong favorite without any doubt. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and King Kohli. Kohli has amassed more than 13,000 runs in his career, while Sharma has also scored over 10,000 runs in ODIs. Furthermore, the promising star Gill has already scored 1813 runs in his first 34 games. Pakistan's top three were also causing problems for opponents, but the recent form of Fakhar and Babar raises many questions. If both of them perform well, along with the consistent Imam, our top three could also create problems for teams in the World Cup.

 

[BouncerGuy]

No doubt India has the best top 3 right now. Then comes Pakistan but surely the form of Fakhar is a huge disappointment in recent times. Babar has also looked a bit off playing against spinner, getting out in a similar fashion but he is a class act an will be back to the run streak soon.

 

[hassan918]

Imam and Babar are consistently scoring runs. Only if Fakhar regains his form and starts scoring consistently as well then Pakistan.

It would be interesting to see what would be our top 3. Whether it will be Fakhar, Imam and Babar or Abdullah, Imam and Babar.

 

[hassan918]

No one has yet mentioned South Africa which I think their top 3 have produced the best performance in this World Cup so far.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistan

Bavuma is the weak link that's why, he's another soft run scoring player.

Best is India, but most dangerous is England cause on their day malan and bairstow can single handidely outbat the opposition

 

[kron]

India's top 3 is the best. At home even more so.

Until ko stages

 

[BouncerGuy]

India has the best top 3 atm. Pakistan had one earlier when Fakhar and imam and Babar were in top form but not anymore.

 

[TheSultan]

I think at the moment even Bangladesh have a better top 3 than us.

 

[mominsaigol]

How so? Liton das has been useless in 2023. Hasn't been able to replicate his 2022 form. The other 2 are useless.

Abdullah and Babar are much superior to any Bangladesh Bat, and as much as I despise imam, Bangladesh attack is the only attack he isn't a complete fraud against. He likes bamgaldesh attack for some reason. The rest expose him badly though.

Yea commented a bit early - they made a decent start in the first 5 overs at a good clip today. They were playing some good shots that I can’t imagine Imam would even consider

Imam isn't better than any opener on the planet lol. Abdullah and Babar both are better then any batter in bamgalesh squad atm. It isn't even close.

And this is coming from a guy who critises babar. Babar is a class batsmen, as long as people stick to reality and acknowledge that he's good just not quinton, Conway, Kohli Level or any of that. Babar is basically a bootleg version of Joe root lol.

As long as people stop the Bradman claims then I'm happy. No one compares to Bradman regardless of era, the guy still averaged 55 in an era where protection was hardly a thing and bowlers used body line where they basically just threw the ball at the batsmen face or body and obviously when you throw instead of roundarm you'll achieve 180-190kph speeds lol.

No wonder it was banned, no batsmen even averaged 10 and its a miracle only injuries happened, some severe but no deaths.

The fact that he still averaged 55 with those gilly danda pre historic razor wire thin bats again 180kph throws to the body with zero protection puts Bradman >>>>>>>>>> any batsmen ever. Not even viv or sachin would average 10, they'd die on the spot.

funny how pre world war 2 allowed such nonsense rules .

But yh, as soon as I saw the Babar is no less then Bradman claim, I made it my mission to make sure people stay in reality.

LOL, no. BD have nothing better than Pak in anything, except may be left arm spin.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

For me its:

Bavuma
De Kock
Van Der Dussen

Each of the these three batsmen maintains an almost 50 run batting average.
