Our Twenty Twenty International (T20I) ratings take into account all matches from the first T20I match on February 17, 2005 till the below
mentioned last update date. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section
(Detailed Explanation). So, here are the Top
10 batsmen against Top Teams in T20Is.
*Note: All T20I Ratings are updated till 2025-10-12
TT RATING
Points to note about TOP TEAMS Rating:-
- Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine Top Teams.
- The Top Teams are calculated by decades.
- A batsman's performace is counted in TT if it comes against that team in the specific decade.
- Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
- Top Teams may be found in the last section.
THE CRITERIA
The TOP TEAMS Rating is divided into 5 main sections:-
| CRITERIA | STAT | POINTS |
|---|---|---|
| Prolific | Runs Scored | 250.00 |
| Consistent | Average | 200.00 |
| Attacking | Strike Rate | 250.00 |
| Big Innings Potential | Top Scores | 150.00 |
| Quick Innings Potential | Top Inns By SR | 150.00 |
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.
