Top Run Scorers in T20 World Cup History

The Inaugural Champion: Matthew Hayden (2007)

Australia’s Matthew Hayden set the benchmark in the very first T20 World Cup. His tally of 265 runs in six matches demonstrated the potential for high scoring in this new format. Hayden’s aggressive batting style perfectly suited the T20 game, inspiring a generation of power hitters.

The Double Threat: Virat Kohli (2014 and 2022)

India’s Virat Kohli stands alone as the only player to top the run-scoring charts in two different T20 World Cups. His exceptional performances include:

  1. 2014 World Cup (Bangladesh): 319 runs at an astounding average of 106.33
  2. 2022 World Cup (Australia): 296 runs

Kohli’s 319 runs in 2014 remains the highest individual tally in a single T20 World Cup edition, a testament to his consistency and adaptability.

  • Shane Watson (Australia, 2012)
  • Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh, 2016)
  • Babar Azam (Pakistan, 2021)
