In today’s T20 game, strike rate has become the hot topic... it’s like the ultimate badge of honour for batters. Score quick or go home right? Players are hyped up purely on how fast they score even when the match context gets totally ignored.
But here’s something to think about... are we getting too obsessed with strike rate and forgetting about actual match-winning impact? Like would you rather have a guy who smashes 60 off 30 in a losing cause or someone who scores 55 off 42 and guides the team through a tricky chase?
Does everyone need to bat at 150+ these days or is there still room for players who can absorb pressure, play smart cricket, and actually win you games?
What matters more to you as a fan... strike rate, the situation or who steps up when it really counts?
