List of players who have scored 1,000 or more runs in Twenty20 International cricket

Scoring over 1,000 runs in T20I format of cricket is considered a significant achievement. In 2010, New Zealand batsman Brendon McCullum became the first batsman to score 1,000 runs in T20I. later in 2014, he also became the first player to cross the 2,000 run milestone as well. He retired as the most prolific run scorer in Twenty20 International (T20Is), with a total of 2140 runs in June, 2015. The record lasted for almost another 3 years until it was broken by his teammate Martin Guptill in February 2018.
