Jos Buttler Becomes T20 Cricket’s Leading Run-Scorer
The Story in Brief
Jos Buttler became the highest run-scorer in men’s T20 cricket, according to The Times of India and Zee News India. Playing for Manchester Super Giants against Welsh Fire in The Hundred at Old Trafford, he made an unbeaten 51 off 20 balls. His career total reached 14,833 runs in 522 matches, passing Kieron Pollard’s 14,803. Chris Gayle is third with 14,562. Manchester Super Giants won by nine wickets after chasing 161 in 69 balls.
Buttler also backed 15-year-old Indian batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to eventually break the record. Sooryavanshi recently scored 151 runs in India’s 3-0 T20I series win over Zimbabwe and made 439 runs at the Under-19 World Cup. NDTV reported the milestone but did not provide its exact details.
The Indian Opinion
Buttler’s scoring record is supported by figures reported by The Times of India, although NDTV and Zee News India provide fewer verifiable details. His prediction about Sooryavanshi is encouraging but speculative. The teenager’s recent performances justify attention, yet future records depend on fitness, selection and sustained form. Readers should separate a confirmed achievement from a young player’s possible career path.
