Twenty20 cricket, also known as T20 format, is a shorter and more exciting version of the game that has become very popular. Batters in T20 cricket need to be very skilled, adaptable, and good at hitting creative shots. 

The first official T20 match was played on June 13, 2003, between English county teams, and it became internationally recognised when Australia beat New Zealand on February 17, 2005, in a match at Eden Park in Auckland. 

To recognise and rank the best T20 batsmen globally, the ICC releases annual rankings. These rankings evaluate players based on their performances, giving them ratings that reflect their impact and proficiency in the T20 cricket.
