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 with best Six Hitting Potential in T20Is.
*Note: All T20I Ratings are updated till 2026-03-08
THE CRITERIA
The SIX HITTERS Rating is divided into 4 main sections:-
| CRITERIA |
STAT |
POINTS |
| Prolific |
Sixes Hit |
200.00 |
| Consistent |
Sixes/Inn |
200.00 |
| Attacking |
Balls/Six |
400.00 |
| Going Berserk |
Inns With Most Sixes |
200.00 |
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.
TT and NWT
Some sections consider performances only against the top teams (TT) and non weak teams (NWT). Here is some information:-
- Win/Loss Ratio is used to determine TT and NWT.
- They are calculated by decades.
- A batsman's performace is counted in TT or NWT if it comes against that team in the specific decade.
- Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
- TT and NWT may be found in the last section.
