Listing the cricketers with highest scores in T20Is by batting position

#4 KL Rahul – 110* off 51 balls, for India against West Indies at Lauderhill, August 2016

Rahul became the first No.4 to score a century in T20Is

KL Rahul became the first No.4 in the history of T20Is to score a century, thereby beating Ricky Ponting’s record that was created in the first-ever T20I that was ever played between Australia and New Zealand in 2005.

After over 550 T20Is being played since then, the record set in the inaugural T20I was broken. And that was done in the first T20I between India and West Indies in USA after India were set a mammoth target of 246 by West Indies.

Coming in at 48/2 before the end of the fifth over after Virat Kohli had departed, the pressure was on Rahul to continue his impressive year in international cricket. And boy did he deliver. As he scored an unbeaten 51-ball 110 which included 12 fours and five sixes, almost helping his side achieve the impossible of chasing a world record target of 246.
