T20 cricket is one of the fastest-growing leagues in cricket. With the success of IPL and BBL, T20 has been accepted as a complete form of cricket worldwide. There have been many T20 stars who have shone brightly and made their name in this form of cricket. It is often said that you should play the ball, not the bowler. Hence, a batsman who can do this well will always be dangerous. This article sets out to find those players who are the most dangerous batsmen in T20 and the ones who can take apart any bowling attack and make it look like a pushover.



Here is a list of five batsmen who have dominated the game and are considered the most dangerous. 


Chris Lynn

Chris Gayle is widely regarded as the most dangerous batsman in the world. With his explosive batting style and ability to score runs quickly, he is well known among cricket fans. In addition to playing for the West Indies, the Royal Challengers Bangalore, and the Lahore Qalandars, Gayle has also played national cricket for Uganda. He has carved out a name for himself as a destructive batsman in his career. He holds several records, including the fastest century in test cricket (100 runs off just 57 balls) and the highest score in Twenty20 internationals.
