1) VIRAT KOHLI (India) 2,794 runs: India's captain certainly seems to relish cricket's shortest format and while Kohli has yet to reach a T20I century, he has hit an impressive 24 half-centuries from 82 matches, at a stunning average of 50.80. He now averages over 50 in all three formats. Kohli's biggest knock of 94 not out came against the West Indies in Hyderabad in 2019. AP
TOP 10 T20I RUN SCORERS: 10) AARON FINCH (Australia) 1,989 runs: Currently holds two of the three highest individual scores in T20Is. Finch has hit two centuries and 12 half-centuries from 61 matches, at an average of 38.25. His biggest knock of 172 (off 76 balls, including 16 fours and 10 sixes) - against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2018 - set a new T20I world record, beating the previous best of 156 that Finch himself set against England in 2016.

9) MOHAMMAD HAFEEZ (Pakistan) 1,992 runs: Versatile all-rounder who has hit 11 half-centuries in 91 matches, at an average of 25.21. His biggest knock of 86 came against South Africa at Centurion in 2013. Getty
8) PAUL STIRLING (Ireland) 2,124 runs: A fine player for his country in the short forms of cricket. Has hit 18 half centuries in 78 T20I matches, at an average of 29.91. Stirling's biggest knock of 95 runs came against the West Indies in Gernada in January 2020. Pawan Singh / The National
7) EOIN MORGAN (England) 2,138 runs: England's limited overs captain, all-time leading run scorer and most capped player in ODIs, has surprisingly failed to reach three figures in T20Is. He has, though, hit 13 half-centuries from 89 matches at an average of 30.98. His biggest knock of 91 came against New Zealand in Napier in 2019. Getty
6) BRENDON McCULLUM (New Zealand) 2,140 runs: Considering he played his last T10Is in 2015, the fact McCullum is still ranked 6th in the list tells you how good a player he was in this format. Scored two centuries and 13 half-centuries from 71 matches, at an average of 35.66. He became the first player to pass the 1,000 T10Is run marker, while his biggest knock of 123 (off 58 balls included 11 fours and seven sixes) came against Bangladesh at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in 2012.

5) DAVID WARNER (Australia) 2,207 runs: Destructive opening batsman capable of big runs in all forms of the game. Warner has hit one century and 17 half-centuries in 79 T20Is, at an average of 31,52.

4) SHOAIB MALIK (Pakistan) 2.321 runs: Veteran all-rounder who, in 2018, became the first man to play 100 T20Is. Malik has hit eight half-centuries from 113 matches, at an average of 31.36. His biggest knock of 75 came against England in Sharjah in 2015. AP
3) MARTIN GUPTILL (New Zealand) 2,536 runs: Capable of big runs in all forms of the game, Guptill has hit two centuries and 15 half-centuries from 88 T20I matches, at an average of 32.51.
