mentioned last update date. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section
(Detailed Explanation). So, here are the Top
10 batsmen with best Impact Innings Potential in T20Is.

Impact Innings (II)
Impact Innings are those innings which have a minimum impact in terms of Runs or Strike Rate. Know All About II. Points to note about II:-
- Both Inns are clubbed together.
- A Batsman should score at least 20 runs to qualify.
- An Inn is included in II if it is 40.00% of the total runs of the higher total or
- The runs are 10.00% of the total runs and
- The SR is high or in a successful chase while being Not Out.

The Trend Setter (TS)
TS is the player who does the best in a criteria. The rating of all other players are calculated taking the TS as the benchmark. Know All About TS. Here is a simple example:-
- TS Runs: 2,000; Player X Runs: 1,000; Section Points: 250.00
- TS Points: 250.00(Max); Player X Points: Runs/TS Runs X 250 = 1,000/2,000 X 250 = 125.00
- Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Runs being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
Top Teams

- Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine Top Teams.
