Kieron Pollard became the highest run-scorer in men’s T20 cricket, surpassing Chris Gayle with 14,582 runs during MI New York’s MLC 2026 match against Washington Freedom. He scored an unbeaten 100 off 56 balls, but his team lost by 30 runs as Mitchell Owen’s 155 powered Washington Freedom to 245/5 in a dominant batting display.
Dallas: Kieron Pollard added another remarkable chapter to his glittering T20 career by becoming the highest run-scorer in men's T20 cricket, surpassing his fellow Caribbean great Chris Gayle as he scored a century for MI New York in Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 on Saturday.
The former West Indies captain reached the milestone in style, smashing a six during his unbeaten knock of 100 off 56 balls against Washington Freedom. Pollard moved past Gayle's tally of 14,562 runs and now sits atop the all-time T20 run-scoring charts with 14,582 runs from 736 matches.
The achievement also underlines Pollard's extraordinary longevity in the shortest format. He is also the only cricketer in history to have played more than 700 T20 matches, having featured in leagues across the globe for nearly two decades.
However, Pollard's landmark innings came in a losing cause as Washington Freedom secured a commanding 30-run victory, having posted a massive 245 for 5.
