how to avoid the blank line printed before the required output? the question is to print the batsman with maximum runs.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        int n,runs,maxRuns=0;
        char bat[100],maxBat[100];
        scanf("%d",&n);
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
            scanf("%[^,],%d",&bat,&runs);
            if(runs>maxRuns){
                maxRuns=runs;
                strcpy(maxBat,bat);
            }
        }
        printf("%s",maxBat);
    
    }

the output i'm getting is

Try the following

scanf( " %[^,],%d", bat, &runs );

See the blank before the first conversion specifier,

Also instead of &bat use bat because the type of the expression &bat (char( * )[100]) is not char * as it is required by the conversion specifier %[.
