Don't Blink! Highest Strike Rate in T20 World Cup History

The T20 World Cup is for sure one tournament that is synonymous with brilliant batting displays. Batsmen come out with the motive scoring quick runs and breaking records. But who are the true at maximizing sixes and reading the field quickly? Below is a list of players who boast the highest strike rates in T20 World Cup history:

Jos Buttler (England) - Strike Rate: 144.48

The first charming chap from England who starts off the performance is the top man and comfortably leads the field. Jos Buttler is as good as they come- A Strike Rate of 144.48. And is a very good long-on and mid-wicket batter; a fine runner between the wickets. In 27 games so far, he has scored 799 to prove that he can score big and also put pressure on the bowlers.

AB de Villiers (South Africa) - Strike Rate: 143.40

South African wizard, famous for his breathtaking 360s. AB De Villiers had a great strike rate of 143. So a prime example of this was sleight-of-body drifting outside off most balls for a dismissal of 40, it suggested he actually has an idea where his ground is and can find it with unorthodox but effective stroke-play. Siddle has taken 23 wickets while playing 29 innings in which he has given 717 runs, giving you an idea that you can take a lot of runs and keep taking wickets so you can take those many runs since you see a bowler who is more than 10 seasons in the bowler.

Chris Gayle (West Indies) - Strike Rate: 142.75

Chris Gayle is the Universe Boss in T20 cricket of the modern era. His highest strike rate of 142.75. His 3 rating (possibly out of 75) indicates that he is a big hitter with power, specifically for sixes. Gayle has scored two T20 World Cup hundreds, an astonishing feat to score a century on its own, showing he knows how to deal with onslaughts as well.

Mahela Jayawardene (Sri Lanka) - Strike Rate: 134.74

Though his highest strike rate is 134.74 says eloquently about his clean hitting and ability to accelerate the innings, Sri Lankan batting legend Mahela Jayawardene may not be the first person who springs to mind when one thinks of pure power hitting. He was instrumental in Sri Lanka's World Cup victory in 2014.

David Warner (Australia) - Strike Rate: 133.22
