List of players who have scored 2,000 or more runs in Twenty20 International cricket

Scoring over 2,000 runs in Twenty20 International (T20I) format of cricket is considered a significant achievement. In 2014, New Zealand batsman Brendon McCullum became the first batsman to score 2,000 runs in T20I. He was also the first player to score 1,000 runs. He retired as the most prolific run scorer in T20Is with a total of 2140 runs in June 2015. The record was broken by his teammate Martin Guptill in February 2018.

In terms of innings, Pakistan's Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are the fastest (52 innings each) to reach the 2,000 run mark, surpassing India's Virat Kohli, who achieved the feat in 56 innings.^[1] Currently the list of the highest run scorers is topped with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Babar Azam.
