T20I matches: From Suryakumar Yadav to Babar Azam, list of top 5 batters to score 2000 runs
T20I matches: The shortest format of cricket has become the most popular among the new generation of fans, as they see batters score the majority of runs with boundaries, and even a 10-ball 30 score gives them goosebumps. T20I cricket has emerged as the latest form of entertainment. In this format, a few big names have scored the majority of runs and proven their worth with their consistency.
In this format, Virat Kohli is currently the leading run-scorer.
Apart from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have also had success in the T20I format
Number one T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav has the chance to break former India skipper Virat Kohli's record of scoring the fastest 2000 runs in the 20-over format.
Kohli reached the 2000-run mark after taking part in 56 innings. Whereas, Suryakumar is just 20 runs away from reaching the milestone after appearing in 54 innings.

In the run chase, Aussie skipper Matthew Wade (36 runs from 23 balls) was the only stand-out batter for the away side but still, he could not help his team to clinch a win in the game.
