Kieron Pollard becomes the leading run-scorer in men’s T20 cricket, surpassing Chris Gayle’s long-standing record. BBC Sport reports that Pollard breaks Gayle’s 12-year reign as the highest run-getter in T20 cricket. NDTV similarly states that Pollard reaches the top spot after adding another scoring milestone to his T20 career. The sources describe the change at the level of the overall men’s T20 run-scoring record rather than a single match, indicating that Pollard accumulates enough runs across T20 matches to move past Gayle. Pollard, a former West Indies all-rounder, is credited with reaching first place in the men’s T20 all-time run tally, thereby replacing Gayle as the record holder.
