Batsmen with Highest Strike Rate: The batting strike rate is the average number of runs scored by a batter for every 100 balls he or she faces. In general, a batsman’s ability to score quickly improves as his strike rate goes up. We have made a list of the top 10 batsmen in all formats with the highest strike rate (ODI, T20, and Test).
Batsman’s strike rate isn’t as important
In Test cricket, a batsman’s strike rate isn’t as important as how well he can score runs without getting bowled. Most people think that a batsman’s batting average, not his strike rate, is the most important statistic about him. In limited-overs cricket, the strike rate is a big deal. Since each team only sees a certain number of balls in an inning, the faster a batter scores, the more runs his team will get.
With strike rates over 150, Twenty20 cricket is becoming more and more popular. In one-day cricket, the strike rate (s/r) is probably the most important measure of how well a batsman did. So, batsmen with a higher strike rate, especially in Twenty20 games, are thought to be better than those with a lower strike rate. Also, at the most recent ICC World Cup in 2019, there was a chance to break the record for the most runs scored per innings.

How Do You Figure Out a Batting Strike Rate?
The average number of runs scored in 100 balls is the strike rate (s/r). It is found by dividing the total number of runs by the number of deliveries and then multiplying by 100. The result will be a batter’s s/r.
It is worked out in two different ways:
- Batting strike rate of a player in a particular match.
- Batting strike rate of a player during his entire career.
