T20 cricket can be a different ball game altogether sometimes and batsmen who can keep finding the gaps could do a lot more damage than the massive strikers of the cricket ball. A good batsman does adapt himself to the needs of the format very quickly and he can make a big difference when the side is struggling.

Players that tend to contribute more to the team’s success have a separate way of playing in T20 cricket and they do take very minimal risks but get the maximum benefits out of it. With the T20 Worldcup scheduled to take place this year, it is time to look at 3 batsmen with the highest percentage of runs scored for their team in T20 internationals.

Virat Kohli has scored a stunning 3159 runs out of 13453 team runs by India in T20 internationals and the skipper averages more than 52 in the format for a reason. Kohli’s numbers rise up while chasing down scores and he is a master of it.

Kohli has the third-highest percentage of runs scored for their team in T20Is with 23.48 percentage as a batsman and he has played just the 90 T20 internationals.

It is true that he keeps contributing to the team’s success and he is a match-winner on any day. Kohli has a strike rate of 139 in T20 internationals which is incredible given that he prefers to play shots down the ground more than aerial.

Malan has the second-highest percentage of runs scored for their team in T20Is with a 24.39 percentage since he came into the side. Malan averages 50.1 in the format and has scored one century and 10 half-centuries already.
