The Expensive Price of Bravery: Top 10 Bowlers with Most Runs Conceded in International Cricket
The ability to take wickets is a common metric used to evaluate bowlers in international cricket, but the sheer number of runs they have given up is a less talked-about aspect of their career. Although this statistic may appear to paint a bowler in a bad light, it actually speaks to something much deeper: **longevity, consistency, and the bravery to take on the world's top batsmen over an extended period of time**.
The bowling greats who have endured, bowled innumerable overs, and thus given up the most runs are examined in this blog post. This is a tribute to the bowlers who have always been there, taking on the most difficult tasks and risking their lives for their teams, not a list of failures.
