Key Insights
62: Babar Azam holds the record for being the fastest batter to score 2500 runs in the T20I format. The Pakistani batting wizard took only 62 innings to reach the mark.
5y 56d: Moreover, he is also the quickest in terms of time taken to amass 2500 runs from his debut. He achieved the milestone in 5 years and 65 days.
But India’s Suryakumar Yadav might run away with this record, looking at how he has been unleashing his carnage since his debut in 2021.
1: India’s powerful opening batter, Rohit Sharma, became the first batsman to breach the 2500-run landmark. Rohit went past the mark in November 2019, and a month later, Virat Kohli followed suit to join his colleague.
12y 304d: David Warner, who has put up some memorable performances in the format, took 12 years and 304 days to reach 2500 runs.
