Highest Score by a batsman in Twenty20 (T20) Cricket.Tag
Cricket Records
Test cricket is where batsmen first defend, calculate and then score runs. One day Internationals is where batsmen look to attack, but there's a danger of being bowled out before playing full quota of 50 overs. Twenty20 cricket is were batter don't think one bit, and smash everything from ball one. Selectors even keep those batsman away from this shortest version of international cricket who can't play innovative strokes. If you like to hit sixes, T20 is for you. But few batsmen have the ability to clear field at will. Chris Gayle of West Indies was the first batsman to reach three figure individual score in 20 over cricket, and we all know how good a striker of cricket ball he is. So far, only 9 batsmen have managed to make a century in twenty20 internationals. McCullum is only one to do it twice. Record holdersAussie Ricky Ponting's 98 not out was the highest score in first ever T20 game back in 2005 before Chris Gayle scored 117 in 2007. Since Richard Levi was unbeaten at same score in year 2012, he kind of snatched away the record after 5 long years but now just 7 months later it rests comfortably with Brendon McCullum's 123. McCullum was out last ball of the innings.Also see : Fastest T20 century | Fastest T20 fifty | Most sixes in a T20 match
