If you follow local cricket closely, you already know Patna has no shortage of serious batting talent. From corporate league regulars to weekend warriors chasing personal milestones, the city’s leather-ball circuit has produced some genuinely impressive numbers over the years. This list ranks the top batters in Patna<\/strong> by most runs scored, based on all-time, all-overs leaderboard data as of July 4, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are scouting players for your next tournament, settling a debate with your teammates, or just curious where you stand against the city’s best, this breakdown covers the full top 20, along with who leads on average, who is scoring the fastest, and a few names worth watching going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How This Patna Batting Leaderboard Was Compiled<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Data Source and Methodology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This ranking is pulled directly from Patna’s leather-ball cricket leaderboard, covering all-time performance across all overs formats (not restricted to a single tournament or season). Four core metrics are used to evaluate each player:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Inn (Innings):<\/strong> total number of innings played<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Runs:<\/strong> total career runs scored<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Avg (Average):<\/strong> runs scored per dismissal<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • SR (Strike Rate):<\/strong> runs scored per 100 balls faced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Runs scored is the primary sorting metric for this list, since it reflects long-term output and consistency across a large sample size, rather than a single standout knock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why Rankings Can Shift<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This is a live, ongoing leaderboard that updates as more matches are played across Patna’s cricket ecosystem. The numbers below are a snapshot taken on July 4, 2026, and ranks may move up or down as the season progresses. If you are reading this well after publication, treat this as a historical reference point rather than a real-time standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Player Spotlights: Standout Performers on the List<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Sarthak Jha, The Runs Machine of Patna<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Sitting comfortably at the top with 19,077 runs across 463 innings, Sarthak Jha is not just Patna’s highest run scorer, he is well clear of the chasing pack by nearly 3,000 runs. A career average of 50.47 shows this is not just a volume game either; Sarthak has been consistently converting starts into big scores over a long playing career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pulak Sinha’s Explosive Strike Rate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Ranked second overall with 16,287 runs, Pulak Sinha stands out for a strike rate of 169.30, the fastest scoring rate among the top five run scorers on this list. That combination of high run tally and aggressive scoring makes him one of the most dangerous batters to face in Patna’s circuit right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vaibhav Raj’s Best-in-Class Average<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    While he ranks 13th on total runs, Vaibhav Raj posts the best batting average in the entire top 20 at 51.19, edging out even Sarthak Jha. With only 123 innings played, a smaller sample compared to the names above him, Vaibhav’s numbers suggest a batter who rarely gives his wicket away cheaply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prabhakar Alok’s Place in the Top 20<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Coming in at rank 18 with 4,987 runs across 198 innings and an average of 29.51, Prabhakar Alok rounds out the list with a strike rate of 105.75. It is a solid, steady contribution that has earned a place among the city’s most productive batters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Consistency Watch: High Average, Lower Volume<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A few names on this list are worth watching closely in the coming seasons because their averages suggest untapped ceiling. Saurav Vijay Kumar Singh leads this group with a 52.41 average in just 197 innings, the highest average on the entire list. If he sustains that output over a longer career, he could easily climb several spots in future rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Runs vs Average vs Strike Rate: Who Really Leads Patna Cricket?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Total runs tell only part of the story. Here is how the picture changes when you look at average and strike rate independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Highest Run Scorers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Sarthak Jha, 19,077 runs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Pulak Sinha, 16,287 runs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Ankit Dabas, 12,236 runs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Best Batting Averages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Saurav Vijay Kumar Singh, 52.41<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Vaibhav Raj, 51.19<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Sarthak Jha, 50.47<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Fastest Strike Rates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Pulak Sinha, 169.30<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Jayveer Chaudhary, 160.91<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Rohit Jha, 154.61<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Interestingly, Sarthak Jha appears in the top three across two of the three categories, run volume and average, which is a strong indicator of why he sits at number one overall. Pulak Sinha’s presence at the top of both the runs list and the strike rate list makes him arguably the most complete batter in this top 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How Patna’s Cricket Scene Compares to Other Cities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Patna’s corporate and weekend cricket ecosystem has grown considerably, with structured leagues, night cricket tournaments, and dedicated leaderboards now tracking player performance the way bigger cricket hubs like Mumbai and Bengaluru have for years. Tournaments such as the Brotherhood Series and WCB’s Weekend Cricket Bash, which runs Bihar’s first corporate night cricket tournament, have played a real role in giving local talent a competitive stage and a reason to show up consistently, which is exactly the kind of environment that produces leaderboard numbers like the ones above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Final Thoughts: Patna’s Batting Depth in 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          What stands out most about this list is not just the name at the top, but the depth across all 20 spots. Players separated by just a handful of runs, like Prabhakar Alok, Akash Singh, and Manjit Kr, who are all within 10 runs of each other, show just how competitive Patna’s cricket scene has become. As more corporate and weekend tournaments take shape across the city, expect this leaderboard to keep shifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
