Suresh Raina on Monday Jan 22,2018 became only the second Indian cricketer and
ninth overall batsman to have completed 7,000 runs in overall Twenty20
cricket.
Uttar Pradesh’s Raina achieved the feat during his stunning knock of
126 not out off a mere 59 balls against Bengal in the Super League stage
of the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, played on Monday afternoon
at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Raina’s 126 is the second highest score by an Indian in T20s -- M Vijay holds the record with 127 for Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Virat Kohli (7,068 runs in 226 matches) is the first Indian cricketer to have breached the mark, with West Indies’ Chris Gayle being the only cricketer in the world to have scored more than 10,000 runs in the format.
Gayle, for that matter, has a little over 11,000 runs in a format wherein the second best is Brendon McCullum with 8,769 runs.
