Rohit Sharma [file] has starred for India with the bat in T20s

India's pace attack has taken quite the front seat this year, and its batsmen have been doing some heavy hitting throughout the cricketing season. The Men in Blue have won 9 of their 13 T20 International matches this year, beating both India and Sri Lanka in T20I series at home this year.

Old hands Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been the top scorers for India in the format, with the skipper leading the cordon at 299 runs off 10 innings in the format. Rohit Sharma is not too far behind, with 283 runs off 9 innings. 25-year-old KL Rahul has hit the big time this year, and comes in at No. 3 with 279 runs from 7 innings - putting him at an average of 39.85, higher than Virat Kohli.

India ended their T20I year with a series whitewash - 3-0 over visitors Sri Lanka earlier last month.
