Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2017: Top 10 T20I batsmen of the year

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma scored the joint-fastest T20I century

Eat. Sleep. Break records. Repeat. Rohit Sharma's daily routine is not something us mortals can easily stomach. In a year when he became the only batsman to score three double centuries in ODI cricket, and the only IPL captain to lift three trophies, he also somehow found the time to leave his footprint in T20I cricket. No biggie.

Rohit scored the fastest T20I century (off 35 balls, joint with David Miller), when he unleashed his plethora of strokes on a hapless Sri Lankan bowling attack at Indore. Rohit hit as many as 12 fours and 10 sixes in that knock, and ended the year as the only Indian to have hit a T20I ton.

In nine innings, he compiled 283 runs at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 171, including the century against Sri Lanka and a half-century against New Zealand earlier in the year.
