Which are the five batsmen who were also amazing in bowling ?

 

In the previous article, we told about the five bowlers who had impressed with their batting and left their mark in the batting as well. If you have not read that article, then you can read from here - Who are those five bowlers who showed miracles in batting too? Well today we are going to take this forward and today we will tell you about the five best batsmen who had shown their Jauhar in batting and also tried their hand at bowling as well and performed very well there. By the way, the job of a batsman is to give the team the runs. But if a bowler is not performing well on a bad day, the captain hands the ball to a batsman to get a break through. To confuse the opposition team a bit, the batsman comes to bowl and there are some batsmen who also contribute very significantly in bowling. So let's start with those five batsmen-

      1.Tilakaratne Dilshan

 First of all, let's talk about Sri Lankan batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan. Dilshan was known for his quick batting. Tillakaratne Dilshan played several good innings for Sri Lanka and RCB. He has more than 10,000 runs in ODIs. He has troubled the batsmen many times with his off-swing bowling. Tillakaratne Dilshan has taken 106 wickets in ODIs and who can forget the wicket of Virat Kohli in the 2011 World Cup final.

2. Vivian Richards 

Now let's talk about the great batsman of the West Indies team, Sir Vivian Richards. Everyone is aware of his batting. Vivian Richards was famous all over the world for batting without a helmet in front of fast bowlers. He was an important part of the West Indies' dangerous team. Over 8000 runs at an average of 50 in Tests. But today we talk about bowling, not batting. Sir Vivian Richards bowled in 131 ODIs and took 118 wickets with an economy of 4.5. Players were nervous about their batting as well as bowling. Vivian has taken five wickets in the innings twice and had recorded his name in bowling too.

3. Sachin Tendulkar 

The third name in this list is that of cricket's all-time favourite Sachin Tendulkar. His name is a show of batting records. Indian fans must know that his bowling was no less than anywhere. He is a top-class player. Whenever the captain had to break any partnership and save the overs of his good bowlers, he used to go towards Sachin. Sachin has bowled mire than 800 balls in ODIs and more than 4000  balls in Tests. He has taken 154 wickets in ODIs.

4. Chris Gayle 

Now let's talk about another batsman from the West Indies, Chris Gayle. You would say that we have never seen him bowling at all. But no Chris Gayle knew bowling off-spin. He also has more than 10,000 runs in ODIs. If mixed at every level, he has hit more than a thousand sixes. Now such a batsman used to throw the ball. Yes! The time in which a fast bowler bowls a ball, the sooner Chris Gayle finishes his entire over. His economy is 2.63 in the test and he has put more than 7000 balls or more than 1000 overs in the test.

5.Sanat Jayasuriya

 The fifth and last name in this list is that of Sanat Jayasuriya. We have already talked about his bowling. He was an excellent left-handed batsman as well as a very good bowler. In international cricket, more than 100 fifties and 40 more centuries, almost more than 20000 runs. Sanat Jayasuriya's numbers show his abilities very well. You will be surprised to know that he has taken 323 wickets by putting more than 14000 balls in ODIs. If you feel this is less then for your information,  these number of wickets have not been taken by great bowlers such as Shane Warne, Zaheer Khan, Mitchell Johnson, Harbhajan Singh Shoaib Akhtar.
