Why Sam Curran ranks #231 in Cricket
Sam Curran ranks 231st among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1764th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 2015–present with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2022, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 twenty20 world cup titles 1, player of the tournament awards 1, twenty20 international wickets 60, test wickets 47.
Immediately ahead sits Kane Williamson on 82.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Colin Bland on 82.4. 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.
