Since the 2024 T20 World Cup is approaching, we are here with a list of the top 10 batters who can set the tournament on fire and be a big threat to the bowlers.
Virat Kohli (India)
The best all-format batter in the world, Virat Kohli, can be the biggest threat to the bowlers in the forthcoming T20 World Cup. Kohli was the highest run scorer in the previous edition as well, with 296 runs in just six matches. He has been in sublime form in the ongoing IPL season as well.

Suryakumar Yadav (India)
Suryakumar Yadav, who is probably the world’s best batter in the shortest format of the game, is another batter bowlers need to beware of. Surya, if he gets set, can demolish any bowling lineup very easily.
Travis Head (Australia)
The left-handed explosive batter is all set to open the inning for Australia in the T20 World Cup 2024. With the kind of form he has shown in the IPL and having batted with a strike rate in excess of 200 in almost all the matches, he is definitely a batter to watch out for.
Will Jacks (England)
The explosive right-handed batter from England will most probably bat in the number three position in the upcoming tournament. He can be a big headache for the bowlers because he has the ability to hit huge sixes consistently.
Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa)
Another batter who can be really dangerous is Heinrich Klaasen from South Africa. He is the most improved player in world cricket in the past year or so and can score big runs very quickly with proper cricketing shots.

Nicholas Pooran (West Indies)
Pooran is also an explosive middle-order wicketkeeper batter from the West Indies. In his home tournament, Nicholas Pooran can be a very dangerous batter. His game is best suited to this format of the sport.
Jos Buttler (England)
The English captain is the next batter to watch out for on this list. Buttler is a phenomenal player and is someone who scores big runs if he gets going. Jos Buttler was also the fourth-best run scorer in the last T20 World Cup.
Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand)
Rachin Ravindra is a youngster who has shown glimpses of what he can do with the bat in the T20 format in the ongoing IPL. If given proper chances, he can be a big asset to the Blackcaps in the tournament.
Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka)
Mendis, who scored 223 runs in the last edition of the T20 World Cup in eight matches, is another batter to keep an eye on in the upcoming edition of the tournament.
Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan)
The Pakistani opener, Mohammad Rizwan, is also an excellent player and has the ability to smash bowlers all over the ground. Rizwan would be Pakistan’s biggest asset in this edition of the T20 World Cup.
