5 Players who could break Aaron Finch's T20I world record score

T20 cricket has revolutionized the game since its inception and had gained immense popularity after India won the inaugural World Cup in 2007 against their arch-rivals Pakistan in the finals.

The T20 format has not only made the game more entertaining but also changed the way ODI and Test matches are played. It has completely changed the batting style and has given batsmen more innovative ways to score runs.

It is a fast-paced game, and numerous records are broken in every match. Aaron Finch created history as he scored blazing 172 runs against Zimbabwe in a T20I match. During this knock, he bettered his own record of 156 runs against England.

Let us find out those players can break this batting record.

#5 Colin Munro (New Zealand)

Colin Munro clears the boundaries at will

Colin Munro is one of the most hard-hitting batsmen in world cricket. He plays an aggressive cricket right from ball one and can change the course of the game in quick time.

Munro has an impressive record in T20I cricket and also became the first player to score three centuries in this format. In 45 T20I matches, he has scored 1173 runs at an amazing strike rate of 163.59 with the highest score of 109 not out.

Though Munro has failed to replicate his performance in IPL, he is the number two T20 player in ICC T20 rankings and has performed on a consistent basis.

The Kiwi batsman has shown glimpses that he can get big scores consistently and if he continues his batting style, he can better the world record of 174 runs soon.

#4 Glenn Maxwell (Australia)

Glenn Maxwell can be a dangerous player when he is in sublime touch

Glenn Maxwell has been a curious case for the Australian team. In spite of being so talented and skillful, he has failed to justify his potential.

The Big show can create havoc in the opposition team if he gets in his zone. In a T20I match against Sri Lanka, he scored scintillating 145 off just 65 balls which included 14 boundaries and 9 towering sixes. He was promoted to the opening position and made full use of the opportunity.

In his T20I career, he has scored two centuries with an astonishing strike rate of 165.19. Currently, he is batting as a middle order batsman for the national team.

If Maxwell gets a chance to open the batting, he could play a similar knock. With his power hitting ability and unorthodox way of playing shots, he has the ability to better his teammate’s record of 172.

#3 Evin Lewis (West Indies)

Evin Lewis has two T20I centuries to his name

Evin Lewis is the true successor to Chris Gayle's legacy, and he has already shown glimpses of his power hitting abilities in his short career.

The pocket-sized dynamo came to limelight when he scored his first T20I century off just 49 balls against India in 2016. During that knock, he smashed Stuart Binny for five consecutive sixes in five balls and scored two runs off the last delivery. He again scored his second T20I century against the same opposition and won the match single-handedly.

Lewis has a career strike rate of 160.37 in 15 T20I matches with two centuries and three fifties. In a CPL match against Barbados Trident, he scored 97 off just 32 balls with 11 sixes and completely decimated the bowling attack. The team chased the modest total in just seven overs only and had Kieron Pollard bowled a legal ball he would have scored the second fastest century in T20 cricket.

The hard-hitting batsman from West Indies known for his pyrotechnics can break the record for highest T20I if he gets to play full quota of 20 overs.

#2 Rohit Sharma (India)

Rohit Sharma has the ability to score big scores

If there is one batsman from India who can better the record for the T20I highest score, then it has to be Rohit Sharma. After being promoted to open the batting, the stylish right-hander has looked a completely different batsman.

Rohit has scored three double centuries in ODI format and also holds the record for the highest score of 264 in ODIs. He initially takes time to settle but when he is set even the best bowlers have struggled to bowl against him.

The Mumbai batsman is one of the few players in the list to have scored two T20I centuries. The second hundred against Sri Lanka was the joint fastest century off just 35 balls. He scored 118 runs off just 43 balls which included twelve boundaries and ten sixes.

With Rohit’s ability to clear boundaries at will and his knack of scoring big scores, he could break this record and also score a double century in T20I match.

#1 Jos Buttler (England)

a different batsmen

after getting the opening slot.

Jos Buttler has been in sublime form and has made most of the opportunities thrown at him. The opening slot in the IPL has worked wonders for him and has unlocked his full potential as an aggressive batsman.

After getting promoted to the opening position for Rajasthan Royals, he scored 428 runs in 6 matches with five consecutive half-centuries. As a result, he is currently batting as an opening batsman for the national team and has already scored two half-centuries in last two matches he played.

In 63 T20I matches, Buttler has scored 1199 runs at a decent strike of 137.5. He holds the record for scoring the fastest century for England off just 46 deliveries.

The hard-hitting wicket-keeper batsman has been a proven performer in the shorter formats, and if he continues to bat in the same position, he will surely break the record for the highest score in T20 Internationals.
