    T20I cricket is considered one of the toughest formats of the game because it is challenging for any player to perform consistently in this format. The T20I arena has seen many greats of the game fail. One of the reasons why some batters fail to make an impact in this format despite their abilities to score runs is their strike rate.

    If a batter scores 40 runs off 45 balls, it does not have much value in this format. Generally, the batters play at a strike rate of around 110 or 120, while the ideal strike rate is more than 125. Not all players are able to adjust their game in this fashion, and some of them end up playing slow knocks.

    In this article now, we will look at the three players who have played with a strike rate of 100 or less, which means either run-a-ball or played more balls than runs scored, in the most number of matches.
