Cricinfo's 25 Greatest T20 Players of all Time

[capt_Luffy]

Keeping Dhoni quite high in the IPL list is probably not that of a unique take as I had thought @capt_Luffy

I would be surprised if most don't have him in Top 3 IPL.

 

[Thala_0710]

I would be surprised if most don't have him in Top 3 IPL.

I don't think many will tbh. Gayle, Abd, Warner, Russell, Malinga, Bumrah would be higher for a lot of people (and Kohli too for many)

I think on average he will make top 3 for most.

 

[Thala_0710]

Would be interested too see if thats true, excluding the general public ofc (they might have Rohit there too)

I was talking specifically of the general public. I don't really have any clear idea on how Cwers rate IPL cricketers.

We got Sir Jadeja out of the IPL…and when in doubt, the answer is always Jadeja

 

[Thala_0710]

No 10: DJ Bravo
No 9: Shane Watson
No 8: Kieron Pollard

 

[capt_Luffy]

Okay yeah, this one's actually quite fair, though I would reverse the order

 

[Thala_0710]

I would go
8: Pollard
9: Bravo
10: Watson

 

[Thala_0710]

I'm expecting Rashid to go out in the next one, (5-8) no idea about the rest

 

[capt_Luffy]

7: Jasprit Bumrah
6: Chris Gayle
5: Andre Russell

 

[capt_Luffy]

With Gayle at #6 @Thala_0710 , I think now we can both agree the list has turned objectively ****

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Pretty sure Sanath Jayasuriya is in the top 5.

(For that ton in IPL 1)

 

[ankitj]

Zero Indian players in top 5 and one in to 10. Shocking!

 

[capt_Luffy]

So...... The top 4 are:

4: Lasith Malinga
3: AB de Villiers
2: Sunil Narine
1: Rashid Khan


Well, atleast 4-2 is Good.

They're all fine except they should be 5-2 with Gayle at 1. Rashid is the closest to Gayle for sure.

 

[Ali TT]

Chris Gayle basically the WG Grace of T20 cricket. While it was always going to be the dominant format, he helped flog it globally while setting some astonishing batting records compared to his peers. Hard to not have him at #1 really.

Don't think I necessarily rate Rashid higher than Narine, Bumrah or Malinga as a T20 bowler.

 

[Thala_0710]

Don't think I necessarily rate Rashid higher than Narine, Bumrah or Malinga as a T20 bowler.

I'd have him ahead of Narine I think but with the way it's looking like Rashid might be on the down, I might switch them back.

Also why are you so high on Sunil "I'll just chuck when I'm getting hit" Narine

I used to be a KKR supporter and Narine slapped hard in those days. Also can be a pretty Useful Opener.
