Abhishek Sharma's 14-Ball Fifty Misses Top 5 Fastest T20I Half-Centuries

• Abhishek Sharma scored a rapid 14-ball fifty for India against New Zealand in Guwahati, remaining unbeaten on 68 off 20 balls.
• Despite his quick fifty, Abhishek Sharma does not feature in the top 5 fastest half-centuries in T20I history.
• Dipendra Singh Airee of Nepal holds the record for the fastest T20I fifty, achieved in just 9 balls against Mongolia.
• Yuvraj Singh's iconic 12-ball fifty against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup is the second fastest.
• Mirza Ahsan (Austria), Tadiwanashe Marumani (Zimbabwe), Muhammad Fahad (Turkey), and Jan Frylinck (Namibia) all recorded 13-ball fifties.

Why It Matters: Abhishek Sharma's explosive 14-ball fifty is impressive but not among the top T20I records.
