Kieron Pollard is making waves in the Major League Cricket 2025 in the US. The former West Indies all-rounder is playing for MI New York. In a recent match against the Texas Super Kings, Pollard created history. He’s now the fourth-highest run-scorer in T20 cricket, surpassing India’s cricket legend Virat Kohli.
Pollard’s team, MI New York, faced off against the Texas Super Kings in their first match. Pollard scored 32 runs in just 16 balls, pushing him past Kohli in the T20 run-scoring rankings. So far, Pollard has scored 13,569 runs in 696 T20 matches. Kohli, on the other hand, has scored 13,543 runs in 414 matches. It’s worth noting that Pollard plays in cricket leagues around the world, while Kohli has retired from T20 internationals and only plays in the IPL.
The top T20 run-scorer is Chris Gayle, who has scored 14,562 runs in 463 matches. Alex Hales comes in second with 13,704 runs in 497 matches. Shoaib Malik takes the third spot with 13,571 runs in 557 matches. Pollard has bumped Kohli down to fifth place. If Pollard scores just three more runs, he’ll surpass Shoaib Malik and become the third-highest run-scorer in T20 cricket.
