Highest Individual Score In T20 World Cup
The T20 World Cup is the biggest competition in the shortest format of the game. So far, eight editions of the event have been completed. The 9th season of the T20 World Cup will be played in the West Indies and USA in 2024. Ahead of the marquee event, it’s important to come to terms with some of the records made by the veterans. A Batter always intends to go big in a T20 match either to post a bug target or chase one. Hence a big inning with a staggering strike rate always benefits a team. This article will take you through the batter with the highest individual score in the T20 World Cup.
former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum holds the record for the highest individual score in the T20 World Cup history. During the 2012 T20 World Cup, he smashed 123 off only 58 deliveries against Bangladesh in Pallekele batting at no 3. The solid wicket-keeper batter hit 11 fours and 7 sixes in his knock to help the Kiwis reach 191 after 20 overs. His strike rate was a staggering 212.06. Therefore, New Zealand won the match by 59 runs and McCullum was given the Man of the Match for his explosive performance.
