Indian batsmen with 4000 or more runs in T20s ft. Virat Kohli, Smriti Mandhana

Three Indian players have touched the milestone of 4000 runs in T20Is.

T20I cricket often enjoys more popularity than the other two formats, due to its quick and thrilling competition that goes till the final delivery.

A T20I match finishes in three to four hours, making it time-consuming for spectators. Whether it is men’s or women’s cricket, T20Is enjoy more viewership than the other longer formats. Over the years, many batters have impressed with their performances in the shortest format.

If we look at the stats, Pakistan’s Babar Azam (4429) is the all-time highest run-scorer in Men’s T20Is, while New Zealand’s Suzie Bates (4716) is the highest run-scorer in Women’s T20Is. Some Indian batsmen have achieved considerable success in the shortest format. They scored many runs in their careers.

However, only three Indian players have reached the milestone of 4000 runs or more. On that note, below are Indian players with 4000 or more runs in T20Is. Notably, this list includes both men’s and women’s cricket.

With a strike rate of 137.04 in 117 innings, Kohli has smacked one century and 38 fifties in his career. His highest score of unbeaten 122* came in a clash against Afghanistan in the T20 Asia Cup 2022.
