Fastest half century for India in T20I history ft. Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma did it again. A blistering half-century in record time. India won the 3rd T20I of the ongoing 5-match series against New Zealand (IND vs NZ 3rd T20I) in style. This time, Sharma completed his half-century facing only 14 balls. But, as of now, he is yet to break Yuvraj Singh's all-time record, registering a half-century in 12 balls only. It is worth noting that the former India batting all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh, is the mentor and guide of Abhishek Sharma. Like the teacher, the student also is doing the same – toying with the opposition bowlers.

List of batters who recorded the fastest half centuries for India in T20Is:

1. Yuvraj Singh (12 balls, India v England, Durban):

That six 6s in and over against England's Stuart Broad during the ICC T20 World Cup 2007 remains as one of the batting testimonials for the Indian cricketer. With 36 runs from a single over, Singh, on the night of September 19, 2007, touched the half-century mark in only 12 balls, which is, to date, recognised as the fastest half-century scored by an Indian batter in the T20Is.
