BBL: Top 10 batsmen with most runs in Big Bash League history

Chris Lynn leads the list with the most runs in BBL history.

The Big Bash League (BBL) has now become one of the most exciting T20 Leagues in the world, and every season adds more important events to the already-created memories.

Over the years, many batters have etched their name in the league with their consistency and have entertained the fans with their clean stroke-making.

Some players have given their teams a fast start, while others have guided their teams through difficult moments. In this article, we will take a look at the top 10 leading run-scorers in BBL history.

Batsmen with the most runs in BBL-

10. Ben McDermott – 2,782 Runs

Ben McDermott has made a reputation for himself in the league with his clean ball-striking down the ground. He helped his team, Hobart Hurricanes, from time to time with his important innings.

He has seen his numbers grow in the league because he has been calm under pressure and has played through it to make big runs. Ben has scored 2782 runs in 99 innings so far in the league. Moreover, he has also maintained a healthy strike rate of 138.40 during his BBL career so far.

9. Shaun Marsh – 2,810 Runs

Shaun Marsh has been good with his decision-making and his technique in the BBL. The southpaw has played a crucial part for both the Melbourne Renegades and later the Perth Scorchers.

Marsh had the innate ability to control the tempo of his innings and change gears to finish on a high. The left-hander has scored 2810 runs in 79 innings with a strike-rate of 129.95.

8. Matthew Wade – 2,817 Runs

Matthew Wade has always been an aggressive batsman who enjoys taking on the bowlers. The wicketkeeper-batter frequently gave his team the advantage with his power-hitting in the powerplay and quick starts. Wade has so far scored 2817 runs in 104 innings with a strike-rate of 140.77.

7. Marcus Stoinis – 2,977 Runs

Marcus Stoinis could show his strength on the pitch with long spells of stability at the crease. He often stayed through the powerplay, and his control over lofted shots allowed him to stretch attacks in the middle overs.

Meanwhile, his ability to pick gaps early gave him more freedom at the death, and Melbourne Stars leaned heavily on his presence in tense situations. Stoinis has scored 2977 runs in 108 innings with a strike-rate of 133.31.

6. Jonathan Wells – 2,999 Runs

Jonathan Wells grew into a reliable middle-order option who stitched together innings through consistent accumulation. He often walked in during tricky moments, and he rarely let the run rate slip beyond recovery.

He also increased his tempo as the years went on, and his placement skills kept the rotation smooth even on two-paced pitches. Wells has so far scored 2999 runs in 126 innings with a strike-rate of 122.10 (which is quite low, to be honest).

5. D’Arcy Short – 3,138 Runs

D’Arcy Short dominated several seasons with explosive starts, and his boundary-hitting during the power play became his trademark.

He regularly forced early changes to the bowling plan, and his status as a left-arm bowler made the match-up difficult for most teams. Short has so far scored 3138 runs in 102 innings with a strike-rate of 131.46.

4. Moises Henriques – 3,139 Runs

Moises Henriques held the middle order for Sydney Sixers with authority, and he controlled many matches through his ability to accelerate.

His ability to play long innings allowed teammates to flourish around him, and his experience helped him read situations earlier than most. Henriques has scored 3139 runs in 133 innings with a low strike-rate of 129.49 so far.

3. Glenn Maxwell – 3,241 Runs

Glenn Maxwell brought unpredictability, and his range of strokes troubled even the most disciplined attacks. He injected a spark into Melbourne Stars with innings that turned silent evenings into chaotic bursts of scoring. The Aussie all-rounder could also play unorthodox shots, and he has scored 3241 runs in 113 innings with an impressive strike-rate of 155.36.

2. Aaron Finch – 3,311 Runs

Aaron Finch was a crucial part of the Renegades’ batting order, making clear decisions and focusing on building momentum right from the start.

He often set strong foundations with crisp drives and well-judged aggression inside the first six overs. The former Australian captain has scored 3311 runs in 105 innings at a strike rate of 131.12.

1. Chris Lynn – 3,955 Runs

Chris Lynn stands at the summit because he built an extraordinary scoring record with his hitting and unwavering belief in his game. He often dictated matches within a handful of overs, and his power through mid-wicket and long-on became a signature that fans always anticipated.

The right-hander has scored 3955 runs in 125 innings with a strike-rate of 149.92, and he is currently the leading run-scorer in the BBL.
