Fastest 50s In the history of the T20 World Cup: The ICC T20 World Cup is around the corner and most countries are busy preparing for the ICC event. All the teams are preparing to find the right combination with a strong batting core before the tournament. T20 cricket, the shortest and fastest format of cricket, demands that the batsman score runs as fast as possible. A quick score of 30-40 runs or a half-century off just 25-30 balls can be a difference-maker in the outcome of a T20 match.



For a batsman, it is not always easy to score a half-century at a fast pace, but there are some instances when the batsman went fast and played some of the fastest innings in history. So in this article, we will look at the fastest fifty by a batsman in the T20 World Cup.



<h2>Top 5 Fastest 50 In the T20 World Cup</h2>

T20 World Cup: India's Top 5 Moments

t20-world-cup-indias-top-5-moments

The BCCI and the IPL Governing Council have finalized December 23 as the date for the IPL 2023 auction in Kochi. This year's auction will be a mini auction instead of the mega auction a year ago. The 16th season of the Indian Premier League is now in full swing. The marquee event will give franchises a chance to strengthen their squads and develop into bigger versions of themselves.



Each franchise will get an additional Rs 5 crore to spend on top of the money left over from their last auction purse, plus the value of the players they released, taking the total purse to Rs 95 crore. Several top-tier cricketers will participate in the upcoming IPL 2023 auction. However, a select few among them have demonstrated their mettle in the T20 circuit and will prove to be of immense value to the team. These T20 talents are likely to catch the eye of several franchises, and they could even start a bidding war between the teams.



Let?s take a look at some players who might break the banks up!



<h1>5 Players Who Will Be In High Demand In The IPL 2023 Auction</h1>



<h5>1- Cameron Green</h5>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Cameron-Green.jpg" alt="IPL 2023 mini auction" class="wp-image-97078" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Cameron Green</figcaption></figure>



One of the most intriguing prospects in Australian cricket has been Cameron Green. The 23-year-old has recently flourished in the white-ball circuit. He has played in 12 ODIs and scored 270 runs at 92.15, while also taking 11 wickets for an economy of 4.98.



Green has been a phenomenon in the shortest format ever since he made his debut this year. In the shortest format, he scored 139 runs at an incredible strike rate of 173.75 while also taking five wickets for Australia. When he opened for Australia against India, he established himself in the shortest format by smashing 61 off 30 balls in Mohali and 52 of 21balls in Hyderabad to catch the attention of fans and IPL franchises.



Hence, he is an asset for any side, and several IPL teams may bid for the Australian all-rounder in the upcoming auction of IPL 2023.



DON'T MISS: <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/shikhar-dhawan-has-been-appointed-as-the-new-captain-of-the-punjab-kings-for-ipl-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shikhar Dhawan has been appointed as the New Captain of the Punjab Kings for IPL 2023.</a>



<h5>2- Ben Stokes</h5>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Ben-Stokes-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2023 mini Auction" class="wp-image-90991" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: Sky Sports</figcaption></figure>



One of the top all-rounders in cricket right now is <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/6557/ben-stokes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ben Stokes</a>. The 31-year-old has won matches for England in a variety of disciplines, with both the bat and the ball. In terms of T20Is, he has taken 26 wickets for an economy of 8.40 and scored 585 runs at a strike rate of 130.63. This includes his 52-run' World Cup-winning innings in the T20 World Cup 2022.



While there were some concerns about his performance in T20 cricket prior to the T20 World Cup, Stokes delivered when it mattered most, first in a crucial league match against Sri Lanka and then in the championship match against Pakistan, once again displaying his big-match credentials. In the tournament, Stokes also took 6 wickets in 16 overs.



It is important to remember that Stokes won Player of the Tournament honors during his first season of the IPL in 2017.



<h5>3- Sam Curran</h5>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Sam-Curran-CSK.jpg" alt="IPL 2023 mini auction" class="wp-image-75507" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



Sam Curran has a track record of success in the game's quickest version. The 24-year-old has played in 144 T20 matches and has 146 wickets to his name with an 8.48 economy rate. With the bat, he has 1731 runs scored at a 135.65 strike rate.



Since Curran was the Man of the Tournament of the T20 World Cup 2022 for picking 13 wickets, 9 of which came in the death overs, and was the Man of the Match in the final for picking 3/12 against Pakistan, expect franchises to engage in a strong bidding war for his services.



Former CSK and PBKS player has taken 32 wickets in 32 IPL matches, including a hat-trick, and scored 337 runs at an average of 22 and a strike rate of 150. We are expecting 24-year-old Sam Curran to fetch at least 12-13 crores in the IPL 2023 mini-auction.

<h5>4- Rilee Rossouw</h5>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/rilee-rossouw-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="IPL 2023 mini auction" class="wp-image-97688" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rilee Rossouw (AFP Photo)</figcaption></figure>



There is unlikely to be a batsman with more T20 experience than Riley Rossouw, who has scored 269 T20 matches, 42 fifty-plus scores, 5 centuries, and 6874 runs at a strike rate of 143.



Recently, the South African left-handed batsman scored centuries against Bangladesh in Sydney and India in Indore. It is expected that Riley Rossouw will bring in a substantial amount in the IPL 2023 auction, given his reputation for playing aggressive cricket right from the start of his innings.



<h5>5- Joshua Little</h5>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Josh-Little-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2023 mini auction" class="wp-image-86629" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Joshua Little Image Source: Twitter</figcaption></figure>



Joshua Little, an Irish seamer, has played in 83 T20s and 53 T20Is over the course of his career, but it was during the T20 World Cup 2022 that he really made his presence known.



The 22-year-old left-arm seamer, who was instrumental in Ireland's victory, picked up 11 wickets in 7 matches at an economy rate of 7, including Jos Buttler. He also claimed a hat trick against New Zealand. A left-arm seamer with the ability to swing the ball far and his reasonable speed should draw a lot of interest at the IPL 2023 auction table.

IPL 2023: 5 Players Who Will Be In High Demand In The Auction

Top Most International Wickets For India:



Cricket, a large section of India's population treats cricket as their love, as an emotion rather than just a game. That year was 2013 when India won an ICC title for the last time. India, despite being everyone's favorite team at the start of the tournament, always comes back empty-handed for some reason or the other. It is bowling sometimes and batting sometimes, which lets down the hope. Nevertheless, Team India has had wizards of the game who have single-handedly produced results many times in history.



Cricket was first mostly regarded as a batsman's game, but as time went on, bowlers also grew to play a significant role in the game. India has won several games thanks to some outstanding bowling efforts. Jasprit Bumrah's spectacular bowling performance a few months ago enabled India to upset England by 10 wickets. India chased down England's 110 runs in 18.4 overs as the pacer took six wickets for just 19 runs.



In this article, we will find out who has taken the most international wickets for team India.



<h2>Top-5 Most International Wicket-takers For India</h2>



<h4>1- Anil Kumble</h4>

Top 5 List: Most International Wickets For India

top-5-list-most-international-wickets-for-india

Cricket has seen many legendary spinners who have bamboozled batsmen with their guile and skill. However, not every spinner has managed to leave a positive mark. Here's a look at nine spinners who, for various reasons, are often considered among the least successful in cricket history.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. Bryce McGain (Australia)</h4>



Bryce McGain?s international career was brief and forgettable. Debuting at the age of 36, he played only one Test match against South Africa in 2009. His performance was disastrous, conceding 149 runs in 18 overs for just one wicket, leaving him with a bowling average of 149.00.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. Gavin Robertson (Australia)</h4>



Gavin Robertson's career was short-lived, playing only four Tests and 13 ODIs for Australia. Despite having a decent domestic career, his international performances were underwhelming. He managed only 13 wickets in Tests at an average of 37.46 and struggled to make a significant impact.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Paul Adams (South Africa)</h4>



Paul Adams was known for his unconventional "frog in a blender" bowling action. Despite initial success, his career was plagued by inconsistency. He played 45 Tests and took 134 wickets, but his career economy rate of 3.17 and average of 32.87 highlight his struggles at the highest level.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Chris Schofield (England)</h4>



Chris Schofield was one of England's great spinning hopes but failed to deliver on the international stage. Playing only two Tests in 2000, he managed to take only two wickets at a high average of 86.00. His ODI career was also unimpressive, leading to a swift exit from the national team.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">5. Scott Borthwick (England)</h4>



Scott Borthwick?s Test career was limited to just one match, and it was a forgettable one. In the 2014 Ashes, he was taken apart by the Australian batsmen, conceding 128 runs for just one wicket. He has since focused more on his batting in domestic cricket.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">6. Michael Beer (Australia)</h4>



Michael Beer?s inclusion in the Australian team was seen as a surprise. He played only two Tests, taking three wickets at an average of 59.00. His lack of penetration and effectiveness meant he was quickly sidelined, and he never managed to regain a place in the national team.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">7. Ravi Bopara (England)</h4>



While primarily known as a batsman, Ravi Bopara?s occasional leg-spin was often more of a liability than an asset. In his Test career, he took only one wicket in 13 matches at an average of 211.00, and his economy rate in ODIs and T20s often put additional pressure on his team.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">8. Beau Casson (Australia)</h4>



Beau Casson was another Australian spinner who struggled to make an impact. He played only one Test, taking three wickets at an average of 43.33. Despite a promising domestic career, his international tenure was cut short due to his inability to adapt to the higher level.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">9. Ish Sodhi (New Zealand)</h4>



Ish Sodhi has had a rollercoaster international career, particularly in Tests. Despite being a regular in T20s, his Test performances have been lackluster. In 17 Tests, he has taken 41 wickets at a high average of 48.63, and his inconsistency has often made him a target for opposition batsmen.
