Star English batter Alex Hales is playing for Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025 these days, and on Sunday (August 31), he joined legendary Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard in an elite list. The 36-year-old right-handed batter became the first Englishman and overall third cricketer in the world to score 14,000 runs in T20s.
Hales needed 50 runs on Sunday to join the 14,000-run club in the shortest format of the game, and he achieved the objective by hitting Imran Tahir for a six on the last ball of the ninth over of TKR’s innings in the match taking place at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba against Guyana Amazon Warriors.
Gayle holds the record for scoring the most runs in T20s. The legendary left-handed batter played 463 matches for over a dozen teams during his 17-year-long career and amassed a total of 14,562 runs. He is followed by Pollard. The former West Indies T20I captain completed 14,000 runs in T20s on Saturday.
