Most 50+ scores in T20Is in 2022
About two months are left before 2022 ends and the fans have witnessed with some of the best cricket played between international countries. Meanwhile, the Asian batters have dominated the year when it comes to the shortest format of the game. In this article, we will talk about the top three batters with the most fifty-plus scores in the ongoing year.
2. Virat Kohli (seven fifties)
Star Indian batter Virat Kohli surpassed legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar to register the most fifty-plus scores at ICC events. He accomplished this feat against Pakistan during team India’s opening encounter against the arch-rivals Pakistan. The right-handed batter continued his good form against the Dutch side and scored his seventh fifty this year. The modern-day great will look to continue his good form ahead in the competition.
1. Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammad Rizwan (nine fifties)
Pakistan wicket-keeper batter, Mohammad Rizwan, has been in the form of his life since the start of 2021, finishing the year as the leading run-scorer in the shortest format. He is continuing his good form this year as well as the right-handed batter has stroked nine fifties so far and played a match-winning knock against the Netherlands in Pakistan’s group-stage encounter of the T20 World Cup. Rizwan has been a key player for the Men in Green and he will look to emulate his performances for the rest of the year as well.
Just like Rizwan, Suryakumar Yadav has been in excellent touch, particularly in the 20-over format. The right-handed batter played a decent knock against South Africa, but his team lost the match after a tough fight. Suryakumar is expected to play a key role for the Men in Blue in the rest of the matches in the T20 World Cup, having struck nine fifties in 2022.
