Stats: Top 10 batsmen with highest strike rate in T20Is

Aaron Finch

With Champions League T20 about to begin, let us take a look at the top 10 batsmen with the highest career strike rates.

Chris Gayle is widely regarded as the most destructive batsman of T20 cricket, but surprisingly he misses out the list due to his relatively sedate strike rate in international matches. Australia’s hard-hitting opening batsman Aaron Finch tops the list with West Indian all-rounder, Kieron Pollard following him at the second spot.

Yuvraj Singh is the only Indian in the list with a career strike rate of 144.69 in 40 matches.

Note: The batsman should have scored at least 500 runs in T20Is
