Top 10 Non Asian T20I Batsmen In Asia

NA IN A Rating

This rating only includes stats of Non Asian batsmen in matches In Asia. The rating is divided into sections to make it easy to understand how it is calculated. Before each section, its criteria is highlighted in bold. Our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier batsmen may change if current batsmen set new benchmarks.

Top Teams (TT)

Top Teams play an integral part in our T20I Rating. The Average (Con) and Strike Rate (Att) sections are divided into overall stats as well as stats against the top teams. Moreover, the most runs (BIP) and best SR (QIP) performances only include performances against the top teams. Here is how the Top Teams are calculated:-

• Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine top teams.
• The top teams are calculated by decades.
• To be a top team, the team should be among the top teams of the decade overall.
• A team is also included in top teams if it is a World Cup winner in that decade.
• A batsman’s performace is counted in TT if he played against that team in that decade.
• Knock Out matches of ICC World Cup are also included in TT.
• The Top Teams may be found in the last section of the rating.

The Trend Setter

The Trend Setter (TS) is the player which does the best in a criteria. The rating of all other players are calculated as percentage points of TS. Let’s taken an example to understand it:-

• Let’s assume that Virat Kohli has scored 5,000 runs, which is the highest. This makes him the TS.
• Another player, say Babar Azam, has scored 2,500 runs.
• If the rating is out of 200, Kohli will get the full points (pts), that is 200.
• The points of Babar are calculated as His Runs/Kohli’s Runs*200. This comes out to be 100.
• Thus the formula is (Runs Scored/Runs Scored By TS)*Max Points.
• All ratings are calculated similarly with Runs being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
• For Average, a batsman is eligible to be TS only if he has scored a minimum number of runs, which is mentioned in the qualificaton.
• For Strike Rate, a batsman is eligible to be TS only if he has scored a minimum number of runs and has a minimum average, which are mentioned in the qualificaton.
• Lastly, it is to be noted that it is not necessary for a TS to be part of the rating as he might have topped in a criteria but not done well in others.

C Ave

The Comparative Average (C Ave) for batsmen is calculated by taken into account two factors:-

• First is the average of batsmen at particluar positions (1-11) in a decade.
• Second is the average of the opposition bowlers at Home, in Asia or outside Asia; whichever is applicable.
• The average of the opposing team’s bowlers is also calculated by decades.
• Higher C Ave suggests that more runs were given by bowlers in the above mentioned factors.
• Thus it was easier to score runs against those oppositions and in those positions.
• The batsmen’s points will thus be decreased accordingly.
• Lower C Ave means the opposite.

R Ave

The Relative Average (R Ave) is calculated using the C Ave. Its formula is (Batsman’s Ave/His C Ave)*A Constant Factor. This constant doesn’t affect the rating as it is the same for everone. If your C Ave is comparatively high, your R Ave will be low; which is worse for batsmen. Broadly speaking, the following batsmen will benefit from this system:-

• Opening batsmen, who face the new ball, get a slight advantage.
• Lower order batsmen, whose averages are lower.
• Batsmen who have played more in unfavourable conditions.
• Batsmen who have played more against top opposition than weaker teams.

C SR And R SR

The Comparative Strike Rate (C SR) and Relative Strike Rate (R SR) for batsmen is calculated using the same method as in C Ave and R Ave with average replaced with SR. Points to note are:-

• Opening batsmen are at a disadvantage because of the first powerplay when SR is high.
• Lower Order batsmen who play in the last few overs are also at a slight disadvantage
• Rest of the factors are the same as in R Ave.

Ave HS

In this criteria, we have taken the top 5 scores of the batsman in the specific condition. Average High Score (Ave HS) is simply the total runs in the 5 innings divided by 5.

QI SR

In this criteria, we have taken the top 5 innings of the batsman with highest strike rate. Quick Innings Strike Rate (QI SR) is the Relative SR of the batsmen in the 5 innings.

UC Rating

The NA IN A (UC) Rating is the addition of the points of all the above criteria. The rating is out of 1,000. Unfamiliar Conditions (UC) is Outside Asia for Asians and In Asia for Non Asians. Familiar Conditions (FC) is the opposite.
