Top 5 highest individual scores in T20 cricket
From Chris Gayle's record-breaking 175* to Karanbir Singh's explosive knock, these innings stand apart in T20 history.
T20 cricket has produced some of the most explosive batting performances in the history of the sport. A handful of innings stand well above the rest when it comes to the highest individual scores ever recorded in the format.
These five knocks represent the peak of T20 batting, combining power, timing and consistency across international and franchise cricket.
Here are the top 5 highest individual scores in T20 cricket:
5. Karanbir Singh
Karanbir Singh scored 164 off 57 balls, placing him fifth on the all-time list of highest individual scores in T20 cricket. The attacking batter achieved the feat for Austria in the third T20I of their tour to Hungary in June 2026, which made him break through into the top five of the remarkable feat in modern-day cricket.
Apart from 18 fours, Karanbir's innings was decorated with 12 huge sixes, meaning that 144 runs he scored came only off boundaries, which is a huge deal in any format of the game. He was dismissed on the penultimate delivery of the 18th over, as Austria posted a mammoth 322 for the loss of seven wickets on the board in just 20 overs.
