Top 3 batsmen with the most T20I runs in 2019

#2 Kevin O’Brien (Ireland)

If Stirling provided rapid starts to Ireland, it was Kevin O’Brien who kept it going in the middle phase of the innings when the field was spread.

O’Brien has hit the most number of sixes in T20I cricket in 2019, which suggests the kind of power game he plays for Ireland. He has been brutal against both the fast bowlers and spinners, and has hit sixes all around the ground.

O’Brien’s ability to hit the ball straight down the ground with a vertical bat and over mid-wicket and square leg with a horizontal bat makes him a really difficult batsman to deal with for the bowlers.

The veteran was assigned the job of a finisher and he performed his task to perfection as he batted with an overall strike rate of 155.43 in the 23 T20I games he has played in 2019.

O’Brien averages over 30 with the bat in 2019, scoring a total of 729 runs with three fifties and a hundred to his name.
