Stats: Players with 1500 runs and 150 wickets in T20s

Twenty20 cricket is usually seen as an extravagant form of the game. Many think it is eating up the conventional forms of the game, it has completely no space for bowling talents to dwell and is all about batsmen dominating the proceedings with those big shots that not only cross over the ropes but the stadiums as well. But amidst all that there have been a certain section of players, who have enjoyed this format more than any and feel at home when playing a T20 match. They are not just good in their territory but also master an additional art, that rare breed of cricketers every team and skipper wishes to have in the squad, the all-rounders.

There have been all-round legends in the game of cricket but with the change in the generation we now have a distinguishable category of players who are the best all-rounders in the shortest format of the game. Here we are discussing the players who have achieved the dual feat of scoring 1500 runs and picking 150+ wickets in Twenty20 cricket.

The list includes T20 stars from around the world, from the big West Indian Kieron Pollard to the number 1 T20I all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan while Pollard has scored 5887 runs and grabbed 214 wickets, Shakib has 2633 runs to his name along with 202 wickets. The most recent addition to this list is Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan who surpassed 150 wickets in the ongoing domestic T20 tournament the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He owns 156 wickets to his name and has scored 1666 runs from 153 appearances.

Some of the names enlisted are not huge international stars though most of them have proved their mettle at the highest level, they have always found success while playing T20 cricket in various leagues around the world or in domestic T20 tournaments in their own countries.

Here is the list of players with 1500 runs and 150 wickets in T20s:
