Fastest Fifty in T20 Cricket: Ashutosh Sharma breaks Yuvraj Singh’s record, check Top 5

Two Indians, one West Indian, an Afghan, and a player from Nepal make the list of the fastest fifty in T20 cricket.

Ashutosh Sharma has broken Yuvraj Singh’s 16-year-old record of hitting the fastest fifty in T20 cricket. Yuvraj created the record at the 2007 T20 World Cup in just 12 balls. However, Ashutosh has reached the milestone in just 11 balls in the SMAT (Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy). With the increase in bilateral series and the creation of several T20 leagues all over the world, T20 records are getting toppled one after the other. Find out the top 5 fastest fifties in T20 cricket since the shortest debut in 2003:
