New Zealand’s top 3 batters across formats in 2023

2023 was a fairly successful year for the Blackcaps. New Zealand played a lot of cricket in the subcontinent in 2023 and performed really well. They also reached the semi-finals of the ODI World Cup though they could not lift the trophy. In this article, we will look at the top 3 batters for New Zealand across formats in 2023 who had a crucial role in their successful run.

The experienced right-handed middle-order batter Daryl Mitchell was without a doubt the best batter for New Zealand in 2023. He was a reliable figure in the Kiwi batting order who stepped up for his team on important occasions. Mitchell scored 1989 runs which included 552 runs that he accumulated in the ODI World Cup. His century in the semi-final against India in an arduous run chase was the perfect reflection of his grit and tenacity as a cricketer. The Kiwi fans would hope for similar knocks in 2024 as well.

When Kane Williamson had to stay out of action for a large part of the year because of an injury the Kiwi fans would not have foreseen that Tom Latham would emerge as a leader of the team. In Williamson’s absence, the experienced wicketkeeper-batter led the side and contributed with his batting performances as well. In New Zealand’s journey to the semi-final of the ODI World Cup, Latham played an immensely significant role. With the bat, he scored 1341 runs in 2023. 

Rachin Ravindra

There are a few other Kiwi batters who scored more runs than Rachin Ravindra but the prodigious left-hander makes it into this list solely on the basis of his jaw-dropping campaign with the bat in the ODI World Cup. Ravindra was playing in his first World Cup and he ended up as the 4th highest run-scorer which is a huge milestone for such a young player. His performances have drawn fans from across the world and they will be keeping a tab on the progress of this talented player in 2024.
