McCullum’s place on Twenty20 International high scores?

Question

New Zealand’s Brendan McCullum finished unbeaten on 116 in New Zealand’s second Twenty20 of the series against Australia. How does it compare to the all-time record?

Answer 1

Very well. McCullum’s innings of 116 not out was the second highest made in a Twenty20 International, behind only Chris Gayle’s 117 against South Africa. The pair are the only two batsmen to have made an international century in this format of the game.
