Sehwag's, Corey, Yusuf and most importantly Padey's innings came when it was most needed. But if we ignore match results, then Raina's was awesome. The fact that all his hits were clean and he ended up being run out.

Can't call only one. Some of them are really great on their own. Viru's 122, Anderson's 95, Raina's 87, Maxwell's 95, Saha's 115, Pathan's 72, ABDV's 89 :hatsoff:

Someone hit an exceptional 60, 70 in a really tough situation with everyone around him failing. At the time I thought I bet this innings will be forgotten when people are judging the innings of the tournament... lo and behold I've forgotten who that was and when it took place :( (It might have been Samson but not sure)

That wasnt even the best inning of the match :headshake:
I found Raina's 80 better than Viru's tun-tanna-ton. Similarly enjoyed Foxxy's 48 in that game. :dontknow:

Haven't watched anyone of these.. followed some of them on cricinfo. I would say Saha's was the greatest and Sehwag's. I rate 1st innings score more than 2nd innings in the context of T 20's. Raina had no choice but to go after every single ball when he came on to bat. Nobody would have questioned him if he had got out doing so. On the other end it was Sehwag's or Saha's decisions to go after the bowling the way they did. This conventional wisdom of rating 2nd innings ahead of 1st innings doesn't hold true for T 20.

doesn't matter whether you have to go after the ball or not, such innings are not played every day. Pressure of target is a different monster which most batsmen crumble under.
