Sportskeeda's T20I Batsman of the Year 2015 - counting down from No. 10 to No. 1
The popular conception that T20Is constitute mindless slam-bang cricket is undermined by the fact that good batsmen are starting to be consistent even in this format. Though an astronomical strike-rate is absolutely necessary in T20Is, consistency also goes hand in hand with it.Though batting averages remain low compared to ODIs, over the years, it has been found that batsmen with the best techniques are ultimately starting to be successful even in T20 cricket.This list contains some of the finest batsmen who have been at their most consistent and explosive best this year. Only international T20 matches have been taken into consideration.Here are the top 10 T20I batsmen for the year 2015.
#10 Brendon McCullum
Having re-defined a more aggressive brand of cricket for the Kiwis ever since he took over as the captain, Brendon McCullum's energy is often infectious at times. He has had a brilliant year as he led New Zealand to the semi-finals of the world cup this year.
His lone T20 innings against England this year brought him 35 runs. But it has to be conceded that it was an innings of rare delight and brilliant stroke-play. But he remains one of the most dangerous T20 batsmen in the world today having built his reputation in several T20 leagues around the world.
