10 Current cricketers who are not made for T20 cricket

4. Dean Elgar

Although Dean Elgar has played a fair bit of T20 cricket, the cricketer has highly struggled to cope up with the demands of quick scoring. With especially being a natural top-order red-ball batsman, Elgar’s gameplay has always been about his classical punches and timing shots rather than smacking some quick runs.

So far, the 34-year old has played 79 T20 games in which the left-handed batter has dwelled a fine average of 34.52. However, when it comes to the strike rate, the South African just manages to keep it afloat over 110 (111.37). Further in his stack of 1968 runs, Elgar has hit a plethora of 141 boundaries but when it comes to tonking big sixes, only 53 of them have come from his blade.

Even in terms of consistently crossing the fifty-plus landmarks, Elgar has reasonably scored 11 of them along with amassing the highest score of 88*. Overall, while Dean Elgar’s above T20 numbers do certainly come up as satisfactory but in order to sustain himself in the long run, the southpaw has to massively scale up his scanty strike rate.
