Australia's retired cricket legend surpasses Virat Kohli, claiming a spot in the top five rankings of the all-time T20 chart.
In the latest instalment of The Hundred 2025, David Warner continued his impressive T20 form, surpassing Virat Kohli to claim the fifth spot on the all-time run-scorers' list.
The match in question was played between London Spirit and Manchester Originals on Monday, August 11. Warner, the captain of London Spirit, scored 71 runs for his team, including 12 fours and a six. Despite his valiant effort, London Spirit fell short by 10 runs, ending their innings at 153-6, chasing a target of 164 set by Manchester Originals.
Warner's recent performances have been remarkable, with two consecutive fifties in the tournament. He currently holds the top scorer position in The Hundred 2025 with 150 runs, all of which are official T20 stats, despite The Hundred's unique 100-ball format.
Warner's T20 run-scoring record is nothing short of outstanding. With 13,545 runs in 419 matches, he boasts an average of 36.80 and a strike rate above 140, with eight centuries and 113 fifties to his name. Kohli, who previously held the fifth position, has 13,543 runs in 414 matches, averaging 41.92, and a strike rate of 134.67, with nine centuries and 105 fifties.
Chris Gayle remains the top T20 run-scorer with 14,562 runs in 463 matches, including 22 centuries and a strike rate of 144.75.
Here's a comparison of the top three run-scorers in T20 cricket:
| Player | Runs | Matches | Average | Strike Rate | Centuries | Fifties | Highest Score | |-------------|----------|---------|---------|-------------|-----------|---------|---------------| | Chris Gayle | 14,562 | 463 | N/A | 144.75 | 22 | N/A | N/A | | David Warner | 13,545 | 419 | 36.80 | 140+ | 8 | 113 | 135 | | Virat Kohli | 13,543 | 414 | 41.92 | 134.67 | 9 | 105 | 122 |
Warner's consistent high scoring suggests he reached the 10,000 run milestone relatively quickly compared to his contemporaries, although specific timing data was not available in the sources.
Meanwhile, Phil Salt, the captain of Manchester Originals, is closely behind Warner with 132 runs in the competition. Both Salt and Warner have maintained high averages and strike rates in the tournament. (Salt: 44 average, 141.93 strike rate; Warner: 75 average, 141.50 strike rate)
