In cricket, the batters rule the game and the T20 format is a tailor-made for the batters. While the bowlers have also found their ways to keep the batters quiet.
But still, the batsmen have the edge in this format like the other two formats. Today we shall name the five batters who have scored the most runs in the T20 World Cup history.
Mahela Jayawardene
The former Sri Lankan skipper tops the list of scoring the most runs in the T20 World Cup events. Mahela has played for seven years and he was also part of the team when Sri Lanka won their first ever T20 title in Bangladesh in 2014.
From 2007 to 2014, Jayawardene played 31 matches and that many innings for the Lankan Tigers. In that, he has scored 1016 runs with one century and six half-centuries. The strike rate of Mahela during these years was 134.74 an average of 39.07.
Jayawardene was an integral part of Sri Lankan cricket in all three formats and served the country as a great servant of this beautiful game.
Chris Gayle
The Universal Boss is still known as the most destructive opener in world cricket. He was known for getting those flying starts for the team. Chris Gayle stands second in this list.
He has scored 965 runs in the T20 World Cup events with seven fifties and two centuries. His strike rate was 142.75 and his average was 34.46. Chris was also part of two T20 title wins of the West Indies team.
Tillakaratne Dilshan
Another terrific opener stands as the highest run-getter in the T20 World Cup. The openers have the best chance of getting the most runs especially in the powerplay overs.
Dilshan was an awesome opener for Sri Lanka in all three formats. He played from the 2007 to 2016 editions of the T20 WC.
Dilshan had scored 897 runs from 35 matches and 34 innings with six half centuries. Tillakaratne had an average of 30.93 and a strike rate of 124.06.
