Batting average calculator
Calculate a cricket batting average from runs, innings and not outs.
Formula
Batting average = runs ÷ (innings − not outs). Not-out innings add runs but do not count as dismissals.
Worked examples
- Virat Kohli has 14,987 ODI runs in 303 innings with 47 not outs in the data: 14,987 ÷ 256 = 58.54.
- Smriti Mandhana: 4,556 T20I runs, 155 innings, 14 not outs = 32.31.
- 1,250 runs in 30 innings with 4 not outs: 1,250 ÷ 26 = 48.08.
How it works
The batting average is the number of runs a batter scores per dismissal. It is the most common measure of consistency in Tests and ODIs.
A batter with no dismissals has no average (it would mean dividing by zero). Retired hurt is not a dismissal; retired out is.
