Hidden Gems
The underrated performers — strong strike rates and tight economies from players with a solid but not enormous body of work, so they rarely top the headline leaderboards. Batting: 500–2,500 balls faced, SR 135+, average 22+. Bowling: 300–1,800 balls, economy under 7.2, 15+ wickets. Across all T20 internationals and leagues.
