Former South Africa allrounder Jacques Kallis has revealed his pick for the highest run-scorer in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023. The best batsmen of the game will soon fight it out for their respective teams in the highly-anticipated World Cup.

The thirteenth edition of the ODI World Cup is scheduled to be played in India from October 5 to November 19. A total of ten teams ??? India, England, New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Netherlands ??? will participate in the tournament.

Some of the batsmen who are set to be in action in the World Cup are Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Steve Smith, David Warner, Quinton de Kock, and Babar Azam. And Jacques Kallis believes Jos Buttler will finish the competition as the highest run-scorer.

Jacques Kallis on Jos Buttler:

In a video on ICC???s Instagram handle, Jacques Kallis predicted Jos Buttler to be the highest run-scorer at the World Cup. The legendary allrounder then went on to explain the reason behind picking the England captain ahead of other batting stalwarts. He stated that the conditions in India will suit Buttler and backed him to do well with the bat.

???I think Jos Buttler will be the leading run-scorer. Outside call, but I fancy him in those conditions along with England having a good World Cup. I think he???s going to be the one guy that stands out,??? said Jacques Kallis.

Jos Buttler does have a very good record in India. In the IPL, he has scored 3223 runs in 96 games so far at an average of almost 38 and a strike rate of more than 148. He has also smashed 5 centuries and 19 half-centuries in the IPL.

One of the best limited-overs batsmen in the world, Buttler has played 165 ODIs so far, scoring 4647 runs at an average of 41.49, with 11 hundreds and 24 fifties. However, he has yet to prove himself in the ODI format in India. In eight games so far, Buttler has managed to score only 83 runs at an average of 11.85 and is yet to score a fifty in Indian conditions.
