Why are the greatest bats in the game all right handers?

Barring Lara, and to a lesser extent Sangakkara, why does the game not have lefties at the absolute peak of batsmanship?

Even now - Smith, Root, Williamson, Kohli, Babar... All right handed batsmen.

What gives?

2H backhand grip (right hander)

So for the past two years, I have always hit this with the following grip:

Right hand: continental (bevel 2 going clockwise) Left hand: semi-western (bevel 4 going counter clock wise)

This always felt the most natural to me but I’ve been reading some articles where for the left hand, people will use an eastern grip (bevel 3 going counter clockwise).

Curious to hear everyones experience

Corner Shooting - Left vs Right handers

I was working on bayesian models to predict and understand corner shooting. For each player, I was estimating their ability to shoot in each corner.

Most players shoot similarly in both corners:

https://preview.redd.it/4i165o86l2881.png?width=673&format=png&auto=webp&s=290c39c5136bfb75b8c3cfb1c4cec836bc9ba864

Some players shoot better in the left corner:

https://preview.redd.it/99sq9sg8l2881.png?width=599&format=png&auto=webp&s=285669207c2fb20917aa41350e8ae95995ec6f8b

And some players shoot better from the right corner:

https://preview.redd.it/s5ryy0qcm2881.png?width=644&format=png&auto=webp&s=b66f7a02c57502f74f2ae6b6c1a93aaf7ad6a8e9

I was trying to understand if player handedness could account for this difference, so I looked at the left and right handers predicted corner 3 shooting in each corner. Both left and right handers slightly prefer the left corner (much less than 1 percentage point improvement in the left corner, and the variance is huge. These are estimates for the average percentage, so individual players can be much higher or lower):

https://preview.redd.it/mcqntc4kl2881.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=7763e75c2c23ada8d1bd80bb8a827fc74d1d6669

What was interesting though was in either corner right handers do better than left handers on average:

https://preview.redd.it/cy1kau9ol2881.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=f5c00d6c35d75d17ffaba4835eec8304484fc8d7

There's so few left handers so the uncertainty is pretty large. Is it just the current pool of left handers is worse than right handers? I would be curious if you had any other explanations.
