T20 Internationals records & leaders

Name: T20 Internationals records — CricketLogic
Creator: CricketLogic

Computed from 3,183 men's T20Is (2005–2026). The leading run-scorer is Babar Azam (4,232 runs); the leading wicket-taker is IS Sodhi (161 wickets).

Men's T20 internationals only begin in 2005, so unlike the Test and ODI pages this one covers essentially the whole history of the format — 3,183 matches, with no earlier era sitting outside the data.

Tests ODIs T20Is

The biggest file of the three

3,183 men's T20 internationals sit behind this page, against 2,548 one-day internationals and 884 Tests. It is also the widest: 83 sides have played at least 20 men's T20Is, where 21 clear that bar in ODIs and ten in Tests.

Sides that appear nowhere else on this site

Austria, Germany, Spain, Rwanda and Hong Kong reach the ten highest team totals below without appearing in the Test or ODI tables at all. 62 of the sides in the T20I standings play no Tests and no ODIs in this dataset, which is why the team table here is several times longer than its equivalents.

Nobody averages fifty

Not one of the twenty leading scorers holds an average of 50; Mohammad Rizwan is nearest at 49.98, and the list runs down to 26.52. Strike rates tell the opposite story, from 124.5 to 162.3 per 100 balls, and the whole run list is small by comparison with the longer formats — Babar Azam tops it with 4,232, less than a third of V Kohli's ODI total. RG Sharma has hit 177 sixes, more than anyone else here.

Bowling to a twenty-over ceiling

With four overs to bowl, economy separates the list more than volume does: the twenty leading wicket-takers concede between 6.11 and 8.67 an over, Ali Dawood the tightest of them. Averages fall much lower than in the other formats, down to 13.34 for S Lamichhane. The largest individual innings is AJ Finch's 172 from 76 balls, and the largest team total Zimbabwe's 344 on 23 October 2024.
