When two batters are compared, one number rarely settles the question. Runs show accumulated output, average shows what a player scores per dismissal, and strike rate shows scoring pace. Read the three together, and keep the format and career scope the same.
What the example shows
In this ODI snapshot, Virat Kohli leads the run total with 15,109 from 304 innings. Rohit Sharma has 12,028 runs from 282 innings. That is the volume view.
The average comparison favours Virat Kohli in this snapshot, while the strike-rate values are close. Era, role, opposition, venues and opportunity still matter.

Career figures are independent official snapshots. Batting average is runs ÷ dismissals; strike rate is 100 × runs ÷ balls faced. A missing denominator stays unavailable.
