Though two batsmen from Hobart Hurricanes, D’Arcy Short and Matthew Wade, topped the run-scoring chart that year, the team couldn’t reach the finals of the 2018/19 season.

In fact, except for the Sydney Sixers duo, James Vince and Josh Philippe, no other batter in the above list has ended up as a champion in the respective seasons.

Stoinis, Short, and (Alex) Hales made it twice on this list.
