Top 5 Players with highest Batting average in T20 Cricket

1. Virat Kohli: 

                      A typical modern-day cricketer, Virat Kohli plays his game aggressively, bares his emotions loudly in public, yet retains the element of maturity that forms an integral part of every good and great player. Anil Kumble said he had thought hard before calling Kohli the best under-22 player in international cricket - that would rate as perhaps the best compliments he has received. It is also proof of Kohli's transformation as a player. Virat Kohli has been significant for India since his debut. He has success in all three formats, in T20 he averages 46.28 in 26 innings which is the highest batting average currently.

 2. Michael Hussey:

                            An accumulator who is virtually impossible to distract at the crease, Michael Hussey waited a decade before becoming an overnight star. Others might have given up, or at least relaxed, during all that time in the backblocks of the Sheffield Shield and County Championship, but Hussey maintained the intensity and was soon living in a statistical world occupied by few others. After two years in the Test side his average rose to 86.18; it had already taken 29 ODIs for his mean to drop below 100. In just 166 days he become the fastest player to 1000 Test runs, but he was reluctant to dwell on the records because he knew the sky-high ride wouldn't last. Mr.Cricketer Hussey is 2nd best in this segment, just like ODI's he also averages heavily in T20 format. Hussey scored 761 runs at an average of 37.94 in T20 cricket, which is the second best in this segment.

 3. Kevin Pietersen: 

                                  Few cricketers have divided opinion like Kevin Pietersen. When he was unceremoniously dumped from England's set up early in 2014, with lawyers at the ready on all sides, he was presented by those in authority as an egotistical individualist whose reluctance to respect those in charge forever undermined attempts to build a strong team ethic. Whatever view you held, Pietersen deserved to be recognised as one of the most captivating cricketers to pull on an England shirt. His flamboyant strokeplay was at the heart of many of England's finest performances for a decade. A brazen belief in his own ability, moments of outrageous unorthodoxy and, at times, a surprising vulnerability on and off the field have all combined to give him great box-office appealThe third in this list is one of the World's destructive bastmen, former England skipper, batsmen Kevin Pietersen. Pietersen averages 37.93 which is third best average in T20 internationals.

 4.Alex hales:

                    There was no doubting the yearning when Alex Hales made his ODI debut for England against India at Cardiff. If English cricket was still not debating the enforced removal of Kevin Pietersen from international cricket, it was arguing over the conservative approach towards one-day batting at the top of the order. Hales, a tall batsman with a destructive range of drives and cuts, was seen as a player who could potentially change the conversation into something more positive. He had a brilliant match winning century against sri lanka in the recently concluded T20 world cup
Hales averages 37.92 which is fourth best one in T20's

 5.Misbah-Ul-Haq:

                               The most remarkable aspect about Misbah-ul-Haq is his unflappable temperament. It shows in his batting, which reached unprecedented levels of consistency in 2011, and in his captaincy, which helped lift Pakistan from the depths of the spot-fixing saga in England in 2010. Taking over as leader immediately after that episode at the age of 36, Misbah's calm approach was exactly what Pakistan cricket needed after the tumultuous period it had gone through. Misbah had success in all the three formats of the game. He averages 37.52 in T20's which is 5th best in this segment.
