All rounders in cricket are always considered as a big asset for the team. They not only play the role of a good batsman but also of a better bowler (either spin or pace). Although all bowlers must bat and quite a batsman do bowl occasionally, but all rounders in cricket are a perfect combo of both.

A player is considered to be a good all rounder when his/her batting average is higher than the bowling average. After a complete batsmen and bowler the players on which the captain mostly relies in a team for scoring runs and taking a few wicket are the All rounders.

Presence of all rounders increases the depth of batting and bowling line up of a team. At some situations when batting line up of a team collapse, the all rounders along with the lower order batsmen take the responsibility to set a prestigious score for the team. Also the All rounders in cricket prove their ability with the bowl irrespective of pace or spin at the time of demand.
