Batting Average Calculator (ODI, T20, Test)

The batting average calculator in cricket serves as a crucial statistical tool that measures a batsman’s scoring efficiency and consistency throughout their career.

The calculator considers two primary factors: the total runs scored and the number of times a batsman has been dismissed. What makes this calculation particularly interesting is that it accounts for not out innings differently, as these don’t count as dismissals, thereby potentially inflating the average.

Player Name	Format	Total Runs	Innings	Not Outs	Batting Average
Player A	Test	5,840	75	8	87.16
Player B	ODI	3,450	95	12	41.57
Player C	T20	1,890	65	9	33.75
Player D	Test	4,220	60	5	76.73
Player E	ODI	2,780	85	7	35.64

Batting Average Calculation Formula

The formula for calculating batting average is:

Batting Average = Total Runs Scored ÷ Number of Times Dismissed

Consider Virat Kohli’s statistics in a series:

• Match 1: 85 runs (out)
• Match 2: 45 runs (out)
• Match 3: 120 runs (not out)
• Match 4: 65 runs (out)

Total Runs = 315
Times Dismissed = 3
Batting Average = 315 ÷ 3 = 105.00

How to Calculate Batting Average Cricket

You can easily calculate batting average using the calculation formula Batting Average = Total Runs Scored / Times Out in all formats i.e. ODI, T20 or test.

Test Cricket:

• Longer format allows for higher individual scores
• More emphasis on technique and patience
• Generally lower strike rates but higher averages

Don Bradman’s Test average of 99.94 from 6,996 runs in 80 innings

ODI Cricket:

• Balance between aggression and consistency
• Usually lower averages than Tests
• More emphasis on strike rate

Michael Bevan’s ODI average of 53.58 from 6,912 runs in 232 matches

T20 Cricket:

• Highest emphasis on strike rate
• Generally lower averages due to aggressive play
• Fewer balls faced per innings

Who Has the Highest Batting Average in T20?

Currently, Virat Kohli holds the distinction of having the highest batting average in T20 Internationals among qualified batsmen.
