It goes without saying then that the players who are able to score the most boundaries in the least amount of deliveries are considered extremely valuable. Here is a look at the list of the top five cricketers who have the lowest ball-to-six ratios in T20I cricket.
#5 Shane Watson
Shane Watson is one of the most destructive all-rounders of all time in the limited overs format. He is the second-highest run-getter for Australia in T20Is, having scored 1462 runs in this format with one century.
Watson played his last international match during the ICC World T20 2016, against India at Mohali. He retired as the No. 1 all-rounder in the T20I format of the game, and he remains a consistent performer in the T20 leagues across the world.
Stats:
Matches - 58, Runs - 1462, Balls faced - 1006, Sixes - 83, Balls/Six - 12.12.
#4 Elton Chigumbura
Elton Chigumbura is one of the the most prolific all-rounders for Zimbabwe. He has led Zimbabwe in the limited overs format twice - in 2010-11 and 2014-16.
Chigumbura is the second-highest run-getter for Zimbabwe in T20Is, having scored 823 runs in this format with an unbeaten 54 as his highest score. He is the only Zimbabwean batsman to have a 140+ strike rate in his T20I career.
Stats
Matches - 53, Runs - 823, Balls faced - 579, Sixes - 48, Balls/Six - 12.06.
#3 Yuvraj Singh
Yuvraj has been one of the most well-regarded all-rounders for India in the limited overs format. He scored 1,177 runs in his T20I career with an unbeaten 77 against Australia being his highest score.
Yuvraj holds the record for the fastest T20I half-century; he achieved that landmark in the 2007 WorldT20 against England at Durban, where he scored 36 runs off Stuart Broad in the 19th over.
Due to his failing the yo-yo test, Yuvraj has been out of the Indian limited overs squad since July 2017.
Stats
Matches - 58, Runs - 1,177, Balls faced - 863, Sixes - 74, Balls/Six - 11.66.
#2 Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle is one of the most dreaded openers in the history of cricket. He is the second-highest run-getter for Windies in T20Is, having scored 1,607 runs in this format with two centuries.
Gayle has hit the joint highest sixes in T20I cricket along with Martin Guptill. He is also a consistent performer in the T20 leagues across the world, and is the only batsman to score 12,000 T20 runs.
Stats
Matches - 56, Runs - 1607, Balls faced - 1,123, Sixes - 103, Balls/Six - 10.90.
#1 Colin Munro
Colin Munro is one of the most feared openers in the limited overs format. He is the fifth Kiwi batsman to score 1000+ runs in T20I. He is also the first ever batsman in the world to score three T20I centuries, a landmark he achieved against Windies on 3 January 2018 at Mount Maunganui.
Munro is a high priority choice for many teams in the T20 leagues around the world. He also has the highest ever T20I career strike rate, of 162.
Stats
Matches - 47, Runs - 1,275, Balls faced - 787, Sixes - 83, Balls/Six - 9.48.
