Listing the cricketers with highest scores in T20Is by batting position

#3 Brendon McCullum – 123 off 58 balls, for New Zealand against Bangladesh at Pallekele, September 2012

Brendon McCullum featuring on this list is not surprising. After all, he holds most of the records in T20Is, but the fact that he does for his exploits at No.3 is something that might not may have seen coming. Yet, his versatility and ability to attack from anywhere was evident from this knock.

Only four batsmen have scored T20I centuries from the No.3 position and the best score of the lost goes to McCullum, for his 123 against Bangladesh during the 2012 World T20. He was not only the second No.3 batsman to hit a T20I century but also the first to do so at a strike rate greater 200.

His blistering knock against Bangladesh was one in which he finished with a strike rate of 212.06. The record was almost broken earlier in the year by Hong Kong batsman Babar Hayat who smashed a century but he fell one run short and thus Brendon still holds on to the record of highest score by a No.3 batsman.
