How Many Times Did India Score 190+ in T20Is Without a Half-Century?

A score of 190 or above in a T20I generally means, there has been at least one player who scored a defining 50. But in some cases, India have achieved a score of 190 runs or above despite not having an individual score of 50. In these innings, India showed their strength, intent as a batting lineup and contributions from the players.

Let’s take a look at Cricbite’s table of all the 190+ India scored without a half-century in T20I.

Conclusion

Scoring a total of 190 runs without any batsman scoring fifty is a great achievement in T20I. India has done it four times already, demonstrating that the success of explosive partnerships and several fast-scoring innings could be equivalent to a half-century by one player. One of the most interesting records in cricket, which will continue being tracked by Cricbites.
