T20 cricket has completely changed international cricket. It’s all about scoring a lot of runs and then trying to chase those runs down. It’s a tough test for batsmen because they have to keep scoring quickly, even when conditions are difficult. The strike rate is a way of measuring how well a batsman is doing. It’s the number of runs they score for every 100 balls they face. The higher the strike rate, the better the batsman is at scoring quickly. In T20 cricket, a batsman’s success is often judged by their strike rate.
Let’s take a look at the top 5 batsmen with the highest strike rates.
