3 Players with the most fours in T20I cricket
It is a treat to watch for fans when a batter hits a sublime boundary in any of the three formats. Finding the gaps, timing the ball, and sending the ball to the fence are some of the skills that a batter possesses. In such a fast and action-packed T20 format, boundaries (fours and sixes) are of utmost priority for the player. In T20 internationals, few quality cricketers have smashed over 300 fours in the format.
Let’s take a look at the 3 cricketers with the most fours in T20 international cricket:
3.Virat Kohli (324)
The second highest run-getter in T20 internationals, Virat Kohli occupies the third position in terms of hitting fours in the shortest international format. The run-machine has smashed 324 fours in his T20I career so far. The 33-year-old has amassed 3660 runs in 99 innings at an average of 50.83 and a strike rate of 138.06 with one century and 33 half-centuries. Kohli has also deposited the deliveries into the stands 108 times.
2.Rohit Sharma (330)
Kohli’s captain and his teammate Rohit Sharma is in the second spot on this chart. The leading run-scorer in T20 internationals, Sharma has managed to slam 330 fours in his career so far. The 35-year-old India’s all-format skipper has mustered 3694 runs in 131 innings at an average of 32.40 and a strike rate of 141.15 with four centuries and 28 fifties. Rohit, who has the highest score of 118, is also the batter with the most maximums (177) in the format. He recently surpassed Marin Guptill’s tally of 172 sixes.
