A score of 30 is the first milestone every batter would like to achieve in all their T20 innings. Irrespective of the batting position, a 30-plus score would be decent enough to position oneself as a consistent batter in the lineup.

Especially in the shortest format, when you have less time to set a target or chase down a total, every run coming out of the batters is valuable. On that note, a batter who can contribute with a more regular passion is always a key addition to a winning team.

This article will list the top ten batters who have smashed the most 30-plus scores in T20Is.
