Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan was the first batter to score a fifty this year. He smashed 51 off 36 balls at a strike rate of 141.66 against Sri Lanka in the T20I in Dambulla.
Abhishek Sharma started where he left off in 2025, scoring two fifties in fewer than 25 balls against New Zealand. He is now the leading batter in terms of 50-plus scores in the format this year.
Abhishek has, in fact, the highest strike rate among batters with more than 500 runs this year. He is striking at over 200, which is insane and almost unheard of over such a long period. No doubt, he is one of the biggest hitters in T20I cricket.
