Top 10 batsmen fastest to 1000 T20I runs: When T20 cricket first burst to the scene, it seemed that this was a format for only big hitting batsmen. Over the years, though, innovation & improvisation have given us a plethora of batsmen who depend on pure stroke making over big hitting to score faster runs.

Below is a list of batsmen who are the fastest to 1000 International T20 runs. This list would probably strengthen my statement that T20 batting is equally divided between brute force and pure stroke making, one can not depend on simply one of those aspects for success in the long run. This aspect of the game truly makes it multi-dimensional and a treat to watch.

Here goes the list of Top 10 batsmen fastest to 1000 T20I runs:

Hardly will you see a list on batting where you won’t find the name of Kumar Sangakkara. Kumar, the poster boy of Sri Lankan cricket in the 21st century is 9th on this list. A natural stroke maker, he translated his ODI and Test form into T20 with ease. Averaging 32 at a strike rate of almost 120, Kumar played the anchor role around whom the whole team batted. He ended his celebrated T20I career with an emphatic fifty against India in the 2014 T20 WC finals.
