Why Jhulan Goswami ranks #31 in Cricket
Jhulan Goswami ranks 31st among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 262nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 86, Longevity 92, Honours 80, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 294 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2002–2022 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes odi wickets 255, international wickets 353, odi average 22, world cup finals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Kapil Dev on 86.6, a gap of 1.0 points. Directly behind is Glenn McGrath on 87.3. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
