IND vs NZ 2026: Top 3 run-getters from the T20I series | CricTracker

It was a high-scoring T20I series of five matches in between India and New Zealand ahead of the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The stakes were high for India after a disappointing ODI series loss to the visitors, and the hosts bounced back with a resounding 4-1 series win.

The series was filled with breathtaking batting performances from both teams, highlighting the ultra-aggressive nature of the batters in the shortest format of the game. The Indian batters, in a series filled with record-breaking team totals, amassed many runs under their belts, sealing the top three spots in the highest points series.

Here are the top 3 run-getters from the T20I series between India and New Zealand:

3. Abhishek Sharma

World No. 1 T20I batsman Abhishek Sharma was at his absolute best throughout the series as he amassed a whopping 182 runs in five innings, including two scores of over fifty. What stands out is his strike rate of 249.31, which demonstrates his game-changing ability with the bat.

In the third T20I of the series, he also scored the second-fastest fifty in Indian T20I history, reaching the milestone in 14 balls. Now he is right behind his idol Yuvraj Singh, who scored a 12-ball fifty in 2007. The left-hander has been a revelation in the Indian T20 line-up and will be a crucial player for the hosts in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
