The T20 World Cup 2024 is near, and every cricketing fan will be waiting to see some of their favorite batters, such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Bos Buttler, and David Warner, in the tournament. Every batsman has a dream to become the top run-getter in the World Cup, and in T20I, it is harder to be the top scorer of the tournament because the batsman has quite less time compared to 50 over the World Cup.
The first T20 World Cup was held in South Africa, in which India clinched the title under the great former captain of India, MS Dhoni, who is still an active player in IPL and plays for Chennai Super Kings. In the first T20 World Cup, the tournament’s top run scorer was the former Australian hard hitter Matthew Hayden, who scored 265 runs. In the most recent T20 World Cup, which was held in 2022, Virat Kohli was the top run scorer with 296 runs in just 6 innings. In the 2024 edition of the T20I World Cup, Rahmanullah Gurbaz was the top scorer, as he scored 281 runs in the 8th match with an average of 35.12.
