T20 cricket is the most exciting format of the game as it gives complete entertainment to the fans for over three hours. The format features batters going after the bowling right from ball one and mercilessly thrashing them all around the ground. Over the years, the format has been ruled by several batters who have plundered runs for fun every season.
There are certain batters who have a liking for a particular venue and unleash their beast mode on the opposition in their favourite arena. As the T20 fever continues to take over the world, let’s take a look at the top three batters with the most fifty-plus scores at a venue in T20 cricket:
