In a game of cricket, it is not easy to rate a batsman as the best or greatest as every player boasts a different set of skills while coming to the cricket field. In every generation or a decade, there are few batters who went on to rule the entire era of cricket with their batting prowess. The greatness of a batter can be judged with their numbers including the runs, batting average, number of centuries, half-centuries and more. There are many batters who excelled in all of these and etched their name in the history books.
Although every batter is great in his own term, you cannot compare two great batters of different generations as both have played in different circumstances during their playing days. In 1950s and 60s, batting wasn’t easy as there wasn't much safety equipment for the batters. On the other hand, in today’s modern era of T20 cricket, the batters love to get big runs and make the batting look easy. However, in modern days, the batters are also expected to score runs at a quick pace as the number of overs become shorter. Let’s have a look at some of the greatest batters in history of cricket
Best Batsmen in World
Sir Don Bradman 
Australian great Sir Don Bradman is regarded as the greatest batsman of all time. He ruled the cricketing world in the decade of 1930s and 40s, an era where it wasn’t easy to bat due to lack of safety equipment. With 6996 runs in 52 Test matches in his career, Bradman went on to hit 29 hundreds and 13 fifties. He retired with a record Test average of 99.94, which is still untouched by many of the great batters throughout the years.
