Why Tamim Iqbal ranks #127 in Cricket
Tamim Iqbal ranks 127th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 775th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 76, Statistics 94. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 297 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2007–2023 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes odi runs 8357, test runs 5134, international centuries 25, odi matches 243.
Immediately ahead sits Dennis Lillee on 85.0, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Rohit Sharma on 84.8. 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.
