Pollard Reclaims T20 Run King Crown!
27 Aug
Summary
- Kieron Pollard is T20 cricket's highest run-scorer again.
- He surpassed Jos Buttler's tally with a 65-run knock.
- Pollard aims to be first to score 15,000 T20 runs soon.
Kieron Pollard has reclaimed the top spot as the leading run-scorer in T20 cricket, overtaking Jos Buttler's record. Pollard achieved this significant milestone during a CPL 2026 match for the Trinbago Knight Riders. He scored 65 runs off 26 balls, bringing his total to 14,921 runs across 749 matches.
Pollard's latest knock included five sixes, bringing his T20 sixes tally to 1,010, moving him closer to Chris Gayle's record. He is now set to become the first player in the world to achieve 15,000 T20 runs, potentially during the Trinbago Knight Riders' next fixture.
This record marks Pollard's return to the No. 1 position after Buttler had briefly surpassed his tally earlier in August 2026. Pollard's consistent performance underscores his enduring impact on the T20 format.
