5 cricketers from associate nations who became famous in T20 leagues

#2 Ryan Ten Doeschate – the Netherlands

Ryan Ten Doeschate has over 5000 runs from 275 T20 matches

That Ryan Ten Doeschate ranks 13th in the list of the highest run-getters in T20 cricket speaks in abundance about the potential of the former Dutch cricketer. 5559 runs from 275 T20 matches at an average of 29.72 and a strike-rate of 136.48 with 2 centuries and 24 half-centuries make him an absolute legend, as far as the shortest form of the game is concerned, with the domain largely limited to domestic T20 cricket. At the international level as well Ten Doeschate has been an impressive performer for the Netherlands garnering 1541 runs and 55 wickets from 33 ODIs.

The 36-year-old also has 96 wickets from his 275 T20s which he has taken through his part-time medium pace bowling. The Dutchman has played in T20 leagues all over the world, with his prominent teams being the Kolkata Knight Riders of the IPL, the Karachi Kings of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Essex, Chittagong, the Otago Volts, and the Adelaide Strikers (BBL) amongst others. It would be surprising to know that international legends such as Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardena and MS Dhoni have fewer T20 runs as compared to Ten Doeschate.
