T20 World Cup 2022: Batters with most fours
T20 cricket is all about scoring runs at a fast rate with the help of fours and sixes. The first six overs (powerplay) and the death overs (16-20) are when a player looks to go for a full monty. Sending the ball to the ropes and finding the gaps are the skills that a batter possesses. In the recently concluded T20 WC 2022, a few prominent names struck boundaries consistently throughout the campaign and they feature in this article.
Let’s take a look at the batters with the most fours in the T20 World Cup 2022: (Top 3)
3.Jos Buttler (24)
England skipper Jos Buttler led his side to a historic T20 WC triumph after beating Pakistan by five wickets in the grand finale at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as England became the first team to hold both ODI and T20 WCs at the same time. Buttler handled the dual responsibility of captaining and scoring runs almost perfectly as he also smashed 225 runs in six innings at an average of 45.00 with two half-centuries. In terms of fours, he hit the third-most fours (24) in the competition with seven sixes also to his name.
