Most Runs in T20 World cup

 The T20 cricket extravaganza has indeed come a long way. There were reservations about this format when it was initially introduced in the early 2000s. However, the twists and turns in this version of the game entertained cricket lovers thoroughly. In fact, it won’t be wrong to state that T20 has become a fan-favourite format over the years. At least, the dominance of T20 matches in cricket calendars indicates the same.

The reputation of T20 cricket says it’s been dominated by batters. After all, bats nowadays are manufactured of the highest quality. Also, the boundary sizes aren’t too enormous. Hence, it’s believed many odds are against bowlers in T20s. However, one must not forget the fact that all it takes is just one delivery to end a batter’s outing. Also, players have the onus to score runs at a quick pace.

Hence, it somewhat becomes essential to take risks. Hence, scoring big in the 20-over format takes some beating. Nevertheless, there have been several batters who have embraced this challenge and made their bat talk. Fans have witnessed batting exhibitions in T20 World Cups as well. Notably, the global event also tests an individual’s character with the stakes being so high.

Also, batters are facing the best bowlers of a particular nation during the course of a game. Hence, no run comes easy. However, some batters have stepped to the occasion and accumulated big runs in the gala competition. Notably, this year’s T20 World Cup is taking place in the United States and West Indies. The previous eight editions also saw many players piling up runs.
