Cricket Records
Nearly 150 Twenty20 Internationals, only 1 century made. come down to Indian Premier League (a breakthrough TV success non International tournament) which has had over 100 games in two installments yet only 5 batsmen have gone on to touch three figure score.Fact : 4 of above mentioned centurions batted as openers that day. Reason is simple := T20, 20 over per side cricket match, is little too less for batsman to construct a century brick by brick.. he has to get lucky! Lets come down a level to make competition tougher = the half centuries (50s or fifty). another land mark we see batters raising their bat to and fans applauding. On an average, Twenty20 Internationals see 2 fifties scored and is generally enough for better of the two to win man of the match. Lets raise a level now.. the fastest half century in Twenty20 International match := Yuvraj Singh (India), took just 12 balls to complete his fifty, fours and 7 sixes (6 of the in one over from Stuart Broad) in his final score of 58 against England on 19 September 2007 in Twenty20 World cup in South Africa. Yuvraj again features in the list at 4th position with a 20 ball century against the Australians in semi-final of same tournament which India won. David Warner, at number 2, scored that 19 ball fifty in his debut T20 match while the suprise element in following elite list is Mohammad Ashraful, the Bangaldeshi tiny batsman who notched up just 20 half century against West Indies and won the match for his country to send Caribbean team home from that same first twenty20 world cup. Note : following list of fastest fifties in T20 cricket is limited to players who have scored faster than 25 balls. List Updated : 14 May 2010, the day Michael Hussey cracked 22 ball fifty against Pakistan in world cup semifinal and miraculously took Australia into finals.
