T20I cricket is definitely emerging into the most entertaining form of cricket, with its quick and nail-biting encounters. T20Is often witness players hitting big boundaries and sixes as it only consists of 20 over per side. The demand for scoring runs is always high in the shortest format. Hence, almost every batsman aims to smack maximum runs in fewer deliveries.

Due to the less number of overs available, scoring a half-century or century in T20I cricket is a big achievement for any batsman. There are many players who have smashed multiple half-centuries in this format, while also slamming many quickfire knocks. In this article, we take a glance at 5 batsmen with the most 50+ scores in T20 internationals.
