England’s Jonny Bairstow has shortened from 50/1 into a best price 20/1 for Sports Personality of the Year success.
The 32-year-old has hit the headlines after becoming only the ninth English cricketer to score more than four test centuries in a calendar year.
Jonny Bairstow can do no wrong for England this summer, as he picked up another Test century helping his side achieve a record run chase and win the fifth test against India.
His last five innings have seen him score 136, 162, 71*, 106, and 114*, as England continue to grow under new Head Coach Brendon McCullum.
These impressive performances have seen his price drop from 50/1 to 20/1 in places (33/1 best price) to land the 2022 Sports Personality of the Year.
Winning this award will see him join Ben Stokes (2019) and Andrew Flintoff (2005) as the only cricketers to win the award since the turn of the century.
