Ravichandran Ashwin named ‘world’s most valuable T20 batter’
Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin commends England opening Phil Salt as one of the ‘most valuable T20 batters in the world.’ Ashwin shared these comments in a video on his YouTube channel.
Despite Ashwin’s high praise, he acknowledged that Salt did not enter the series in peak form. The recently retired off-spinner emphasized that Salt’s performances in the ongoing International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are underwhelming. Salt managed to score a struggling 70 in three appearances, which did not live up to the expectations set by his reputation as a game-changer in T20 cricket.
“Phil Salt is playing for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. We can say that he will be the most valuable T20 batter in the world. So, if we look at his performance considering that, he will not come with a very good form. Scored he is 70 and a very difficult 70. Ashwin said.

Salt, who made his T20I debut in 2022 against West Indiesbecame an important part of England’s batting lineup. With 38 T20I matches under his belt, he has amassed 1106 runs at an amazing strike rate of 165.32. His aggressive approach at the top of the order and his ability to adapt to different game situations make him a valuable asset for his side.
