T20 WC: Jos Buttler Becomes First Wicket-keeper Batter To Reach 4000 T20I Runs
T20 World Cup: England’s Jos Buttler on Saturday made history by becoming the first wicket-keeper batter and fastest player in the world to score 4,000 runs in T20 Internationals based on balls faced. He reached this milestone in just 2,670 deliveries, breaking the previous record set by Rohit Sharma.
He reached 4,000 runs during the Group C match against Scotland in the ICC T20 Men's World Cup 2026 on Saturday in Kolkata. Buttler needed three runs for 4,000. He achieved this on the fourth ball of the second over (chasing 153 runs). This was also Buttler's 150th T20I for England, making him the only English cricketer -- one of five players globally -- to have played 150 or more T20Is.
However, he departed early, scoring just three from four deliveries, chipping it to McMullen off Currie in the second over of the chase.
