T20 cricket has changed the way international cricket is played. It focuses on scoring a lot of runs quickly and trying to chase down those runs. Batsmen need to keep scoring fast, even in tough conditions. A player’s strike rate measures how well they score runs. It shows how many runs they score for every 100 balls they face. A higher strike rate means the batsman scores quickly. In T20 cricket, a batsman’s success is often judged by their strike rate.
