What is Strike Rate? Strike rate measures how quickly a batsman scores runs. It's calculated as (Runs Scored / Balls Faced) × 100. A strike rate of 150 means the batsman scores 150 runs per 100 balls, or 1.5 runs per ball.

Format Differences:

• T20: Aggressive batting is key. Strike rates above 140-150 are considered excellent.
• ODI: Balance between aggression and consistency. 80-100 is a good range.
• Test: Focus on building innings. 50-60 is considered good, while 40+ is average.

Pro Tip: Strike rate should be considered alongside other metrics like average, consistency, and match situation. A high strike rate is valuable, but rotating strike and playing to the match context is equally important.
