Top 3 T20I cricketers who have found it hard to crack the ODI format

Since its inception in the paradigm of international cricket, the T20I cricket has made an amazing space amidst the dominance of two traditional formats i.e., ODI and Test. With the eight World Cups played so far, the shortest format of the game has also emerged as a vital parameter to assess the skills of any player.

Speaking specifically of the last two years, the quickest format has dominated with two consecutive World Cups having another one scheduled next year in 2024 after the prestigious ODI World Cup 2023 in India.

There are a lot of players who are being dubbed as the finest players of the T20I format. But there are very rare individuals who kept have kept dominating in all formats of the game.

Currently, the World's number one T20I batter and star Indian batting sensation Suryakumar Yadav has stunned everyone with his blistering batting approach in the shortest format of the game. The 32-year-old is only two centuries away from the record of the highest T20I centuries that is currently owned by current Indian skipper Rohit Sharma.

But on the other hand, his ODI numbers are not that much promising as he has scored only 433 in 18 innings with a below-par average of 28.86 with a strike rate of 102.85. He is yet to reach an individual three-figure mark in ODI cricket which is quite strange to his records in the T20Is.

Wanindu Hasaranga

The talented Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has proved his worth in T20I cricket both with the bat and the ball. Hasaranga has currently ranked number two in the T20I bowler’s rankings and fourth in the list of T20I all-rounders.

He has claimed 89 scalps and 55 T20I appearances with an economy rate of 6.8 and also played a crucial role in the upliftment of the Sri Lankan team in this very format of the game. But when it’s about performing in the ODIs, Hasaranga has scalped only 39 wickets in 37 matches with a very expensive average of 38.6 which is quite opposite to his stature in T20I cricket.

Moeen Ali

The prolific England veteran is number nine in the ranking of T20I all-rounders and also played a crucial role in the victorious journey of England in the 20-20 World Cup 2022. Moeen has some decent stats to his name in T20I cricket with a strike rate of 145.81 with the bat and 40 wickets with the ball having an economy of 8.36.

But he hasn’t been that much impressive in ODI cricket, he has only an average of 25.15 with the bat and a strike rate of 99.24 with only nine half-centuries in 99 innings.
