Cricket in 2018: T20 League-wise Best batsman

T20 cricket highly favours the batsmen and we have witnessed several top-notch performers in various T20 leagues this year. These cricketers have lit up these leagues with their exploits and ended them on a very memorable note. Nine of the most popular leagues from across the world were considered and the best performer with the willow in each of these leagues was picked.

The Big Bash League (BBL), Mzansi Super League (MSL), Global T20 Canada, Afghanistan Premier League (APL), T20 Blast, Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Pakistan Super League (PSL), Indian Premier League (IPL) were the leagues from where the top performers were picked.

However, the highest run-scorer of the league wasn’t taken into consideration in all of these instances. The batsmen who had a significant impact on the league and those who played out of their skin were picked. Here is the best batsman each of the T20 leagues in 2018.

D’Arcy Short | Big Bash League

D’Arcy Short started 2018 on a terrific note with some brilliance in the Big Bash League. He set the stage on fire with some unbelievable hitting. The left-hander smashed four half-centuries and one century in the tournament. He was all sheer class and cleared the ropes with so much ease and grace.

Short scored 572 runs in 11 games at an average of 57.20 and strike rate of 149. He struck 26 sixes in the BBL, the highest in the season and also ended as the leading run-scorer. The left-hander also earned his national call-up after this special performance. However, he failed to replicate the same kind of heroics at the highest level and subsequently failed in the IPL as well.
