Jos Buttler scripts history, surpasses Chris Gayle on all-time T20 run charts

England wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler etched his name further into the record books on Thursday, surpassing Chris Gayle to climb to second on the all-time T20 run-scoring charts during The Hundred 2026 clash between Manchester Super Giants and London Spirit at Lord's.The landmark came despite Buttler making only 16 off 11 balls, an innings that included one four and one six. Those runs were enough to move him past Gayle and underline the remarkable turnaround in fortunes after a difficult spell over the past 18 months. Buttler now has 14,572 runs from 487 T20 innings at a strike rate of 146.74. His tally includes 102 half-centuries and nine hundreds.Gayle, who held the all-time T20 run-scoring record for years before being overtaken by Kieron Pollard earlier this year, has now dropped another place to third with 14,562 runs from 455 innings.
