Most half-centuries in T20 World Cup

World Cup T20: Scoring a fifty in a T20 game is considered a brilliant knock. Many times it happens that none of the batsmen in the entire team manage to reach fifty. On the other hand, big players are expected to score goals for their team. This is one of the reasons for the success of any team.

When it comes to the T20 World Cup, the pressure becomes high and the points scored during that time are more valuable. Here we take a look at the batsmen who have scored the most half-centuries in the T20 World Cup. This list will have some of the best batsmen in the world. Some big names are topping the rankings, so let's take a look at the batsmen with the most 50s in the T20 World Cup.

3. Chris Gayle (7 Half Centuries) in 33 matches

If one has to pick one batsman to play in T20 cricket, Chris Gayle will top the list. "Universe Boss" holds countless records in the format and is a legend in itself. Gayle has featured in all seven T20 World Cups and ranks third on the list. However, Chris Gayle is the only batsman in the current ICC event to have scored two centuries.

Gayle played 33 matches and scored 965 runs at an average of 34.46 and a strike rate of 142.75. He also hit a total of seven half-centuries in the tournament. The left-hander also has the most sixes (63) and has helped West Indies win two trophies.

2. Rohit Sharma (8 Fifty) in 33 games

The Indian captain is also among the best in the game. If we talk about the total records in T20 then Rohit has scored most runs in this format. He has played for India in all seven tournaments and will now lead the team in the upcoming T20I World Cup in Australia.

Rohit played 33 matches and scored 847 runs at an average of 38.50 and a strike rate of 131.52. The Indian captain also scored eight half-centuries in the tournament and is one of the leading run-getters in its history. He also hit a total of 80 fours and 31 sixes.

1. Virat Kohli (10 half-centuries) in 21 matches

Arguably the best batsman of the last decade, he tops the rankings here. The former Indian captain holds almost all the batting records in the game of cricket. So it is no surprise that he has the highest number of fifties in minor matches compared to others.

Virat played 21 matches and batted in 19 innings, scoring 845 runs at an incredible average of 76.81 and a strike rate of 129.60. He also has 10 half-centuries in the T20 World Cup to his name. Virat hits half-centuries after every match. And with the upcoming season in Australia and his personal bests in the country, more goals are expected of him.
