T20 International (T20I) is the most aggressive format in the world of cricket. In a span of 20 overs, players are expected to be as explosive as they can. The batters need to be as ultra-aggressive as possible so much so that nowadays there is no term called middle overs in T20I Cricket earlier 7-15 overs were termed as middle overs but the new generation batters have now made new terms to bat ' See the ball hit the ball'. The batters also have the pressure of maintaining a good strike rate too, If a batter plays at a Strike rate of 130ish especially in India, those players are bound for criticism.
There have been many batters in the past too who have met all these criteria as well as made the small white round object to kiss the air on more than one occasion.
Without taking much delay let's discuss these players in detail
Batters With Fastest 50s in T20 World Cup S(Table)
| Rank | Player | Balls Taken to Score 50 | Against | Venue | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yuvraj Singh (IND) | 12 | England | Durban | 2007 |
| 2 | Marcus Stoinis (AUS) | 17 | Sri Lanka | Perth | 2022 |
| 3 | Stephan Myburgh (NED) | 17 | Ireland | Sylhet | 2014 |
| 4 | Glenn Maxwell (AUS) | 18 | Pakistan | Mirpur | 2014 |
| 5 | KL Rahul (IND) | 18 | Scotland | Dubai | 2021 |
1. Yuvraj Singh: (50 off 12 balls)- When this comes into the ear everyone remembers that fateful night at Durban, India's score at that time was below 150 and it looked like it would be a slow finish Until this man walked out to bat and what followed after that was a carnage, Stuart Broad won't want to remember that night one bit, It was who went for the iconic six sixes in the 18th over that helped India breach 200 and eventually win them the game.
2. Marcus Stoinis: ( 50 off 17 balls): Australian Marcus Stoinis also features in the list, the ' Hulk' as he is often called was in a mood that day the western Australian just went into beast mode and smashed a hapless Lankan Bowling to attack to all parts of the Adelaide Oval. Stoinis scored 58 off 18 balls. This helped Australia coast to a thumping win.
3. Stephan Myburg-:(50 off 17 balls) Many Would call it a boring game since the teams that featured in this game weren't as powerful at that time, Those who saw this game live must be very lucky as what followed at Chittagong was probably the best Qualifier game, Chasing 190 to win the Netherlands needed to complete this chase in 14 overs, after hearing this statement many people wrote them off, but Stephen Myburg and company had other plans, he went berserk and Cricket fans saw one of the best range hitting in that T20 World Cup Netherlands not only overhauled the target but also qualified for the main stage.
4. Glenn Maxwell: (50 off 18 balls)- Fastest 50s and Maxwell's name isn't there, It cannot be possible, Pakistan probably had one of their best bowling attacks in the 2014 T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. But they didn't know what was coming their way a whirlwind knock from Maxwell, Australia Was reeling at 8-2, Maxwell entered what followed was mayhem in Dhaka as he smashed 74 off 33, Pakistan was lucky enough that they had extra runs as Australia fell short by 16 runs.
5. KL Rahul: (50 off 18 balls)- It was in the year 2021, The Indian team was down and out of the World Cup with two heavy losses against Pakistan and New Zealand. In the remaining matches, it was announced that the Indian team would change their batting approach, and KL Rahul found the perfect day to do that chasing a paltry 89 India needed to overhaul that target in 7 overs, But Rahul had other ideas as he smashed everyone all corners.
