Jos Buttler surpasses Rohit Sharma to become second-highest T20I run-scorer

England batter Jos Buttler has overtaken Indian legend Rohit Sharma to become the second-highest run-scorer in men's T20I cricket, accomplishing a major milestone in his glittering career. Buttler got to the landmark achievement during England’s first T20I against Sri Lanka on Tuesday in Southampton, in which Buttler smashed a sensational 80 off 44 balls to play his part in England’s outstanding 119-run win. Buttler shared a 128-run second-wicket partnership with captain Harry Brook, who pounded an unbeaten 114 off 49 balls to guide the team to a 119-run win.
Notably, Rohit Sharma retired from T20I cricket back in 2024, ending his career with 4,231 runs in 159 matches. Meanwhile, Buttler now boasts 4,292 runs in 161 T20I matches, having 2 centuries and 29 half-centuries. Pakistan star Babar Azam tops the list with 4,596 runs in 145 matches at an average of 38.94, continuing to be the highest run-scorer in men's T20I cricket.
Talking about the match, England, after being asked to bat, piled up a humongous total of 254/4 in 20 overs. And in reply, Sri Lanka struggled to maintain rhythm and forge partnerships, with their top performers getting dismissed at regular intervals. The visitors were eventually folded for 135 in 19 overs to go 0-1 down in the series.
