Top 5 T20I batsmen of the decade

#4 Glenn Maxwell (Matches - 60, Runs - 1576, Average - 35.02, Strike-rate - 160)

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is probably the first T20 specialist batsman of our times. Maxwell came into limelight because of the sensational hitting talent that he displayed on the Australian domestic circuit. He then became the favourite of all franchise teams in various T20 leagues.

Fearless is the word that is normally associated with Maxwell's batting. The Australian all-rounder has annihilated opposition bowling attacks with his aggressive batting. Not afraid of playing big shots right from the word go, Maxwell boasts a career strike-rate of 160. Making his international T20 debut in 2012, throughout his career Maxwell has been criticised for playing reckless cricket. However, that hasn't stopped the 'Big show', as he is famously called, from playing his natural game. An integral part of Australia's T20 squad, Maxwell will be crucial to his team's chances in the World T20 2020.
