The best criteria to judge a players ability and talent is to check the performances of all three formats of crickets. I have seen many international players who can play white ball cricket exceptionally well but lacks in red ball and vice-versa. The calendar year of 2022 has witnessed many young and experienced players who scored most runs in 2022 in all formats be it ODI, T20, or Test.

The growth of Babar from over the last years has been improved drastically, where he even got compared by Virat Kohli for his back to back hundreds and match winning performance.
Moreover, Virat is way ahead in terms of scoring centuries and runs as well but in the coming years Babar will definitely looking forward to take the place of Virat which is quite tough.
| Â Â Â Â Â Runs | Â Â Â Â Innings | Â Â Â Â Â Fifty | Â Â Â Â Hundred |

The Bangladesh team’s main opener Litas Das played 50 innings in which he made 1,921 runs which also adds 3 hundreds and 13 fifties in the account.
If we look at his best inning of 2022, it would be the knock of 141 runs against Sri Lankan team in test cricket, When I saw that match I was quite impressed by his leg side shots which he plays dominantly.

In the upcoming world cup 2023, Shreyas would be looking forward to make comeback in the playing 11 as he is the important player who provides stability in the middle order.
I personally feels, Iyer is probably the best batter of spin in the current Indian cricket squad, specially his ability to take down off spinner for lofted shot in the long on.

There has been many talks in recent times regarding Smith’s white ball cricket approach and records, many thinks he is not suitable for short format cricket, which I don’t think completely true.
No doubt, Steve Smith is not power hitter in t20 cricket, but at crucial time he played many good knocks for his country and BBL as well. Whereas in ODI cricket he is still one of the best batter in 50 overs format.

Kiwi opener, Conway has played some really good knock across all formats where he smashed 1,417 runs in 37 matches he played in year 2022.

9. Sikandar Raza
To be honest it feels really good to see players like Sikandar Raza coming from underdog teams like Zimbabwe from last couple of years, which makes the game more exciting and competitive.
The right arm off spinner and batter, Raza has been with Zimbabwe from quite a long period of time but from last couple of years he has improved his game a lot which made him 9th player to score most runs in 2022 in all formats.
