Who Is the Best All-Rounder in the World?
Based on the ICC rankings checked 6 Nov 2026
There is no single official "best all-rounder in the world" award, so the fairest answer comes from the ICC rankings. The world No. 1 all-rounders are Marco Jansen of South Africa (Test 463), Azmatullah Omarzai of Afghanistan (ODI 359) and Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe (T20I 331).
Across all three formats, Marco Jansen comes out on top of our all-format index with an average rating of 255 (Test #1, ODI #14, T20I #37). The index averages each player's ICC rating in Test, ODI and T20I cricket, counting a format as zero if they are outside its top 50, so it rewards all-rounders who perform in every format.
Ravindra Jadeja is the best-placed Indian all-rounder on the index, 5th overall with an average rating of 195.
