Scoring 200 or more in a T20 International is no easy task. It usually takes explosive hitting, solid partnerships, and players who know how to accelerate when it matters. 

But even in such high-scoring matches, only a few batters have consistently made an impact with 50+ scores. Jos Buttler, for instance, contributed 83 runs off just 30 balls in England’s record 304-run total vs South Africa.

India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is also not behind Buttler by much. On that note, here’s a closer look at batters with the most 50+ scores in 200+ T20I totals.

At no.5, Quinton de Kock, Babar Azam, and Glenn Maxwell have each registered six 50+ scores each in 200+ T20I team totals for their respective teams. De Kock often gave South Africa flying starts, while Babar anchored Pakistan’s innings with consistency and class. 

Maxwell, on the other hand, provided fireworks in the middle order for Australia with his fearless hitting. Together, they represent three very different but equally dangerous batting styles that can turn high-scoring games in their team’s favour.

Suryakumar Yadav, India’s modern-day T20I captain, has redefined batting in T20Is. His wide range of shots makes it almost impossible for bowlers to plan against him. SKY has been India’s x-factor in recent years, especially when they’ve posted massive scores.

With 6 fifty-plus scores in games where India achieved 200+, Suryakumar has established himself as a match-winner. His fast-scoring rate makes sure that the team not only reaches 200 but even zooms past it with ease at times.

3. Jos Buttler - 7 Times

England's Jos Buttler is one of the most explosive of the openers out there. A bowlers' nightmare in T20 cricket, Buttler's muscle-power has enabled England to score some of their highest scores.

With 7 scores of 50 or more in 200+ totals, Buttler has spearheaded England's batting attack. His 83 off 60 balls performance against South Africa in the 2nd T20I of the series only proved his mettle. Buttler's attacking approach, power to hit over the ropes, and flexibility across conditions make him among the most complete T20 hitters in the world.

2. Rohit Sharma - 11 Times

Rohit Sharma, Indian cricket's "Hitman," is 2nd on this list with 11 fifty-plus scores. Rohit possesses a special gift that, once he gets set, he makes big scores look absurdly simple. His ability to hit sixes, especially in powerplay and death overs, has played a decisive role for India's record score.

Rohit has achieved 11 half-century-plus scores in 200-plus team scores and is among the most feared opening batsmen in world cricket. His ability to dominate bowlers across formats is reflected perfectly in T20Is too. 

1. KL Rahul - 11 Times

KL Rahul has been India's most consistent batter in T20Is. Following his popularity for technical stroke play and consistency, Rahul has frequently been the anchor for India's high totals. He stands out because he starts slowly, gets into position, and then comes out blazing in the latter overs.

When India crosses the 200-run mark, more often than not, Rahul has played a big role. With 11 scores of 50 or more, he tops this list alongside Rohit Sharma. His innings not only give India a strong platform but also ensure stability in the middle.
