West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard has now claimed the record as the leading run-scorer in T20 cricket by moving ahead of compatriot Chris Gayle.

The 39-year-old reached a total of 14,583 runs after hitting a century for MI New York in Major League Cricket, passing Gayle's mark of 14,562.

Of his overall tally, 1,569 runs came in T20 internationals while the balance was scored in domestic and franchise T20 events across the globe.

Gayle, who played his final competitive T20 in 2022, had held the leading position since March 2014.

The record could change hands several times in the months ahead, with former England opener Alex Hales only 134 runs behind in third place and Jos Buttler fourth, trailing by 212 runs.

Buttler may appear in up to eight T20 matches for England between July and September.

Pollard also holds the mark for most T20 appearances with 736 games played.

He continues to combine playing and coaching, having worked as batting coach for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League and preparing to serve as head coach of MI London in the men's Hundred this summer.
