Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e Ryan ten Doeschate.

  • In cricket, a player's batting average is the total number of runs they have scored divided by the number of times they have been out, usually given to two decimal places.

  • Ryan ten Doeschate is the most popular cricketer to ever have played for the Netherlands. He was named the ICC Associate Player of the Year in 2008, 2010 and 2011.

  • In 32 innings, Ryan ten Doeschate has amassed 1541 runs at a breath-taking average of 67.00, with 5 hundred and 9 fifties.

  • He is the record holder for the highest average in one-day internationals. The record might remain unscathed for a very long period of time.
