Our T20 International (T20I) ratings take into account all matches from the first T20I match on February 17, 2005 till the below mentioned
last update date. Our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier bowlers may
change if current bowlers set new benchmarks. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section
(Detailed Explanation).
So, here are the Top 5 Fast bowlers in T20I cricket
from India.
*Note: All T20I Ratings are updated till 2024-06-30
Nations Rating
The Nations Rating filters the OVERALL Rating to show players only from India.
- The Rating of the players from India remains the same as in the original OVERALL Rating.
- Thus the Trend Setter can be from any nation and is not necessarily from India.
THE CRITERIA
CRITERIA | CONSTITUENTS |
---|---|
Primary | Wickets, Average, Economy, BBI (Wkts), BBI (Eco) |
Conditions | Home, Away, In Asia, Outside Asia |
Secondary | World Cup, Top Form, Impact Inns |
The Trend Setter (TS)
TS is the player which 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 an example:-
- TS Ave: 25.00; Player X Ave: 30.00; Section Points: 300.00
- TS Points: 300.00(Max); Player X Points: TS Ave/Ave X 300 = 25.00/30.00 X 300 = 250.00
- Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Ave being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
Top Teams (TT)
Some sections consider performances only against the top teams. Here is some information about the Top Teams:-
- Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine Top Teams.
- The Top Teams are calculated by decades.
- A bowler’s performace is counted in TT if it comes against the team in the specific decade.
- Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
