We will discuss about the batsmen with strike rate on the emerging talent of the new players in the exciting match going on in the most popular t20 world cup of the cricket tournament. Who has the power to change the game in the interval of a few balls in the T20 World Cup and any league of cricket.
Quantity of runs and consistency of scoring are extremely important for success in the T20 format, and players who can deliver both can sit higher in the MRF Tires ICC Player Rankings.
But, in a large tournament, teams also need some of their top-order scoring to come at a fast pace – averaging 40 with a strike rate of 130 is only successful at the elite level if quick at the other end. Runs are being scored.
And the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 is full of such fast-paced hitters, batsmen who are capable of taking the game out of the reach of the opposition in the blink of an eye.
Here we run through the most explosive batsmen to feature in the tournament based on their career strike rate (at the time of writing) in T20Is.
Indian Batsman SuryaKumar Yadav T20I strike rate: 176.81
Indian batsman playing the middle order, his batting has currently maintained his identity at the top of the ICC MRF rankings in terms of scoring rate in the last few leagues.
A player with all the shots, Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) has scored an eye-watering rate of 176.81 in his 34 T20I appearances.
The aggressive batting is what makes 32-year-old SKY so remarkable, and what sets him apart from others on this list, is that he manages to combine that scoring pace with an impressively high average of 38.70.
Jimmy Neesham, New Zealand T20I Strike Rate: 163.65
The New Zealand all-rounder is one of the most destructive finishers in the world. His 635 career runs in T20Is have come in 53 matches at a strike rate of 163.65.
And we know Neesham can channel that power to the big stage as well – it was his remarkable 11-ball 27 attack that helped the Kiwis beat England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2021.

New Zealand Batsman Finn Allen T20I strike rate: 161.72
Another New Zealander is ahead, but in a very different role. Relative newcomer Finn Allen is often used as an attacking opener, and his 469 T20I runs in 18 matches so far have come at a brisk pace.
The 23-year-old has been looking for boundaries and maximums from the start and will look to make a quick start for the Kiwis during the Super 12 stage.The 23-year-old has been looking for boundaries and maximums from the start and will look to make a quick start for the Kiwis during the Super 12 stage.
Australian Batsman Tim David T20I strike rate: 160.08
One of the most sought-after franchise players in the world, Tim David’s explosive performances in domestic leagues and for Singapore has seen him take an unusual path to the Australian national team.
Interestingly, in his short Australian international career so far, his role as a finisher has actually seen his strike rate go up compared to his scoring pace of 165.95 with Singapore.
Windies Batsman Evin Lewis T20I strike rate: 155.51
A spell in the international jungle is over for Evin Lewis, who has to join the top-order for West Indies after the big left-hander is recalled.
Lewis averages more than two sixes per innings and has hit more sixes than fours for West Indies. He will be looking to pepper the stands in Australia, and with a T20I career strike rate of 155.51 you will be brave enough to bet against him.
South Africa Batsman Rilee Rossouw T20I strike rate: 152.87
South Africa have a very powerful top-order, and Riley Rossouw is one of many players capable of rapid acceleration on the scoreboard.
The 33-year-old has played only 21 T20 Internationals but in those matches he has scored 558 runs at an average of 37.20 and strike rate of 152.87. He is a world class number in anyone’s book.
South Africa Batsman Aiden Markram,
T20I strike rate: 151.16
The Proteas have another potential star of the tournament in the shape of Aiden Markram high up their batting order.
The extremely talented right-handed batsman has also made a stellar start to his T20 career, scoring 780 runs in 26 matches. That means he averaged over 40, but is coming on an impressive lick even with those runs, 151.16 runs per 100 balls.
Australia Batsman Glenn Maxwell T20I strike rate: 150.40
The Australian middle-order star has been one of the most dangerous T20 batsmen in the world for the best part of a decade.
Yet his high-volume performances in Australia (94 T20Is) haven’t dampened his strike rate, with Maxwell still scoring 150.40 runs per 100 balls during his career.
If the hosts have to defend their title, Maxwell will certainly play a big role.
