T20 cricket has taken cricket fans by a storm as it offers such excitement and entertainment. T20I is surely the most favorite format of cricket fans and it is becoming increasingly popular day by day.
T20 is a format which predominantly belongs to batsmen and for bowlers, the margin for error is just so negligible.
Among the leading run scorers in T20Is, at the first spot is the dynamic Kiwi opener, Martin Guptill. Guptill leads the list with 2250 runs from 74 matches. This includes two handsome tons and 14 half centuries which is just too good as per the T20 standards.
Following Guptill on the list is yet another New Zealand batsman. Brendon McCullum follows Guptill on the list with 2140 runs from 71 matches.
Third on the list is the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli has 1982 runs from 56 T20Is and is yet to score a hundred unlike the first two. Kohli has proved that he is the modern day batsman and it’s only a matter of time, he would soon make it to the top of the list.
The top 10 list also includes David Warner, Shoaib Malik, JP Duminy, Eoin Morgan, and Dilshan. Virat Kohli is the only Indian batsman in the list of top 10 leading run-getters in the shortest format of the game.
