Chris Gayle Sets New Record, Becomes First To Score 14000 Runs In T20

The world has got a new Sachin Tendulkar and it's none other than Master Storm Chris Gayle. That’s what Twitterati is calling him after he scored the most runs in the T20 cricket.

It was his first since 2016 and what a splendid performance he gave in a match against Australia.

Chris Gayle Tops The List, Know The Other 4 Batsman With Most Runs In T20

But his record is far beyond the others in the list as the left-handed batsman scored 14,308 runs. The Universe Boss Chris expressed his happiness on the series win and said,” You all knew I was struggling with the bat and to be able to get some runs was pleasing.”

There are still some who might go “oh it’s only T20 cricket” but 14,000 runs is an unimaginable number of runs in a format where a batsman rarely faces over 40 balls an innings. @henrygayle is indeed to T20 cricket what @sachin_rt is to ODIs #WIvAUS
