Ranking The 3 Best All Rounder Trio In White-Ball Cricket.

All Rounders provide the team with contributions in almost three departments and they are the building base of a successful team in the modern era of white-ball cricket. It is obvious that teams with more all-rounders are likely to win matches as they have a lot of options and they get enough contributions from those players.

Teams tend to suffer when they do not have many all-rounders in the squad and it is a big risk to play with six batsmen and five bowlers at the present. The balance of the team can be addressed only with the inclusion of all-rounders and it is time to rank the 3 best all-rounder trios in white-ball cricket.

3.West Indies – Jason Holder, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell

West Indies are generally associated with big hitters in white-ball cricket and they have had it in plenty. To their advantage, they have all contributed with the ball as well. Holder has turned out to be a middle-order batsman for West Indies in all formats and he can finish off games from the position. He also bowls ten overs on most days for the side with his medium pace.

Pollard has taken over the captaincy of the West Indian white-ball team and he is one of the powerful strikers of the cricket ball. He does use a lot of variety while bowling and it can be effective at times. There is no other batsman who can hit the cricket ball as hard as Andre Russell can and he also bowls a heavy ball. Russell is a destructive finisher in the middle order and is a wicket-taking quick bowler too.

2. England – Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Sam Curran

The England trio of all-rounders is exceptional too and they can be all match-winners on their own. Ben Stokes doesn’t need an introduction and he is one of the most successful all-rounders in the game at the moment. He can bat anywhere in the top order and keeps taking wickets with the ball at crucial stages. He is also an excellent fielder and is a fearsome striker of the cricket ball.

Sam Curran is another all-rounder who is coming up the ranks and he hasn’t been used with the bat much despite his potential being displayed at times. The left-arm seamer bowls in the powerplay and can be a match-winner in the middle order. Chris Woakes is also an underrated cricket and he is more known for his fast bowling but is very useful with the bat. He is a full-fledged fast bowler as well as has a strong batting technique and he can have a strong impact.

1. India- Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar

The Indian all-rounders do have a separate role in the team and they form the core of the middle order. Hardik Pandya is the best Indian all-rounder at the present when he starts medium-pace bowling and he is a destructive finisher at number six for India. He also provides with the option of death overs bowling and being a wicket-taker for the side.

Ravindra Jadeja has improved his batting immensely which has helped India in all the formats and especially in white-ball cricket where he can bat at seven and bowl ten overs of left-arm spin. He is an extraordinary finisher and is too good a batsman for number seven. Washington Sundar is expected to play the role of a Ravindra Jadeja in the future and he is being groomed in white-ball cricket as an option at number seven or eight at the moment.
