1. Get Team Batting details

The function below gets the overall team batting details based on the RData file available in T20 matches. This is currently also available in Github at [yorkrData] (https://github.com/tvganesh/yorkrData/tree/master/Twenty20/T20-matches). The batting details of the team in each match is created and a huge data frame is created by rbinding the individual dataframes. This can be saved as a RData file
