The Fastest Fifties in International Cricket

The fastest fifty in international cricket is a record that is constantly being broken. Here are the current record holders for the fastest fifty in each format:

  1. Test cricket: Misbah-ul-Haq (Pakistan) - 24 balls (against Australia, 2014)
  2. ODI cricket: AB de Villiers (South Africa) - 16 balls (against West Indies, 2015)
  3. T20I cricket: Yuvraj Singh (India) - 12 balls (against England, 2007)

Yuvraj Singh's 12-ball fifty is considered to be one of the most destructive innings in cricket history. He hit six fours and six sixes in his innings, and the only bowler who was able to stop him was Stuart Broad, who conceded just one run in his over.

The fastest fifty in T20 cricket is a relatively new record, as the format was only introduced in 2003. Yuvraj Singh's record has been equaled by Aaron Finch (Australia) and Lewis Gregory (England), but it has yet to be broken.

The fastest fifty in Test cricket is a more difficult record to break, as the batsmen have to face more deliveries. Misbah-ul-Haq's record has been equaled by David Warner (Australia) and Hashim Amla (South Africa), but it has also yet to be broken.

The fastest fifty in international cricket is a testament to the skill and power of the modern-day batsmen. These players are able to score runs at an incredible rate, and they are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Who will be the next batsman to break the record for the fastest fifty in international cricket? Only time will tell.
