Kieron Pollard has once again won the crown of the batsman scoring the most runs in T20 cricket. Interestingly, just 22 days ago, Jos Buttler had made this record by leaving Pollard behind, but now Pollard has made a comeback and regained the number-1 position.

Sports News: Once again a big change has been seen regarding the batsman who scored the most runs in T20 cricket. West Indies' star all-rounder Kieron Pollard has once again overtaken England's explosive batsman Jos Buttler and regained the record of scoring the most runs in T20 cricket.

Interestingly, Buttler had achieved this feat by surpassing Pollard just 22 days ago. But Pollard's stormy batting in CPL 2026 once again changed the entire equation.

Stormy innings of 65 runs in 26 balls

Playing for Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League 2026, Pollard batted aggressively against St Lucia Kings. He scored 65 runs in just 26 balls. This innings of Pollard included 6 fours and 5 sixes. Before the match, he needed 35 runs to become the highest run-scorer in T20 cricket. Batting aggressively, he easily crossed this figure and again took the top position in the record books.

14,921 runs in 749 T20 matches

After this brilliant innings, Pollard has scored 14,921 runs in 749 matches in his T20 career. His batting average is 31.81. During this period he has scored 2 centuries and 71 half-centuries. Now Pollard is just 79 runs away from becoming the first batsman to complete 15,000 runs in T20 cricket. The special thing is that Trinbago Knight Riders still have many matches left in the league stage. If the team further reaches the playoffs and finals, Pollard will have ample chances to achieve this historic figure.

Jos Buttler dismissed Pollard during The Hundred in early August 2026. At that time, Butler had achieved the number-1 position by scoring 14,890 runs in 526 T20 matches. However, Pollard overtook Buttler again with his 65-run innings in the CPL. According to current figures, Butler is in second place with 14,890 runs. He has 9 centuries and 106 half-centuries in his name.

In this way, Butler's journey of becoming the number-1 batsman in T20 cricket lasted only for 22 days. Now after Pollard has reached the top again, this record race between the two players has become more interesting.
