New Delhi. In the matches held so far under the World Cup 2023, the number of batsmen has been ’12’. There have been 11 matches so far in the tournament (till the India-Pak match), in which 12 batsmen have scored centuries. In this ‘Dhamal’, till now Khabbu i.e. the left handed batsmen have proved their superiority over the right handed batsmen. Of course, the number of right-handed batsmen is more among the batsmen who have scored centuries, but as far as the top-5 batsmen of the tournament and the top-5 innings so far are concerned, the left-handed batsmen are dominant. Among the top 5 batsmen so far in the World Cup 2023, the number of left-handed batsmen is three, while the top 5 innings are also occupied by three left-handed batsmen.
The special thing is that the number of lefty batsmen in any team is maximum three or four. There have been some teams in which there is not even one left-handed batsman or there are only one or two. Even in the current Indian team, there are only two left-handed batsmen – Ishan Kishan and Ravindra Jadeja. Kuldeep Yadav also bats with his left hand but he is known as a pure bowler rather than a batsman.

New Zealand’s Devon Conway is at number one among the batsmen who have scored the most runs in the tournament so far. He has scored the maximum 229 runs in three matches so far in the World Cup 2023. The second position is also occupied by a left handed batsman. South Africa’s Quinton de Kock has scored 209 runs in two matches so far. He has earned the credit of becoming the first batsman to score centuries in two consecutive matches in this tournament.
Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan is third with 199 runs in two matches, Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis is fourth with 199 runs in two matches and Indian-origin Kiwi player Rachin Ravindra is fifth with 183 runs.
