Big upset in T20 International: After Virat Kohli, Jos Buttler leaves Rohit Sharma behind


These days, a huge change is being seen in the grandeur of runs in the shortest and exciting format of international cricket i.e. T20 International (T20I). England cricket team’s limited overs captain Jos Buttler, famous throughout the world for his explosive batting and captaincy on the cricket field, has achieved another historic milestone in his name. Playing brilliant innings in the recently played matches, Jos Buttler has made a big leap in the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs in T20 International cricket, overtaking former Indian captain and veteran batsman Rohit Sharma. In this record breaking journey, Jos Buttler is now rapidly moving towards the second place after Indian run machine Virat Kohli, and seeing his excellent form, speculations are being made that the number-1 or top-ranked crown of Pakistan cricket team’s star batsman Babar Azam is now in serious danger.

If we turn the pages of cricket history, the record of scoring the most runs in the T20 International format has been revolving around the selected top batsmen of the world for the last many years. At one time, former Indian captain Virat Kohli had occupied the top position in this prestigious list, but due to the ever-changing nature of the game and the frequent international matches, now there are frequent changes in this record chart. Jos Buttler has proved that he is one of the best and most dangerous T20 batsmen of the modern era by defeating the most dangerous bowlers in the world with his ability and constant hunger to score runs. Strengthening his position at the second or third position by defeating a great opener like Rohit Sharma is proof that Jos Buttler has left an indelible mark in international cricket, which will not be easy for any new player to surpass.

Seeing the aggressive batting of Jos Buttler and the explosive pace of runs, the worries of former Pakistan captain and star batsman Babar Azam have increased to a great extent. The gap between Babar Azam and other top players in terms of scoring the most runs in the history of T20 International cricket is now very less, and with the speed at which Buttler is scoring runs, it is believed that this crown may change in the coming few months. Babar Azam has made many records in his career, but if we look at his current form and Jos Buttler’s consistently brilliant innings in comparison, then the top position of this Pakistani batsman is now feeling like alarm bells are ringing. The eyes of cricket lovers and sports analysts are now completely focused on whether Jos Buttler will be able to create a new history by achieving this historic milestone in the upcoming series or not.

While playing for England, Jos Buttler has not only made his team win many losing games as an opener, but has also proved his ability in different T20 leagues of the world and on international platforms. His technical proficiency, ability to play shots all around the ground and his ability to remain calm even under pressure and move the innings forward make him completely different from other batsmen in the world. When a player reaches the position of equaling or surpassing the records of legends like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, his success tells the story not just of statistics but of his years of hard work and dedication. The way Jos Buttler has maintained consistency in his game, he has taken English cricket to new heights and he has emerged as a role model for the young generation.

As the international cricket calendar progresses and various countries prepare for the upcoming World Cup and bilateral series, the battle for these individual records is becoming more exciting. This figure of runs is changing with every match, and fans are eagerly waiting to see when Jos Buttler sets a new milestone by breaking this big record of Babar Azam. This great battle of T20 International is no longer limited only to the victory and defeat of the teams, but this race of individual superiority has become a great entertainment for sports lovers, in which history is being made and broken every day.
