Leading from the front: 5 players with the most T20I runs as captain

T20 is such a format where if a team is not able to perform better in two or three series, then the captain of that team can even be sacked. In T20Is, we have seen completely different captains of many teams, who either play only in this format or in the limited-overs format. Despite all this, some teams in international cricket also have captains who can be seen carrying out this responsibility for a long time. In this article, we will be discussing five Players with the most runs as a captain in T20I cricket.

5. Faf du Plessis (South Africa)

Faf du Plessis, who captained the South African team for a long time in all three formats, is still the highest run-scorer in T20 cricket for his team as a captain. From 2012 to 2019, Faf played 40 matches as a captain, in which he scored 1273 runs at an average of 37.44. During this time, He slammed 1 century and 7 half-centuries.

4. Eoin Morgan (England)

If we look at the performance of the England team in the limited-overs format in the last few years, then it has been very good. The biggest reason for this is the captain of the team, Eoin Morgan, who has also made a significant contribution as a batsman. Morgan has played 64 matches as captain so far, in which he has scored 1371 runs at an average of 27.97. At the same time, 9 half-centuries are also recorded in Morgan’s name as captain.

3. Kane Williamson (NZ)

At present, there are very few players in the world of cricket who are seen taking the responsibility of captaincy for their team in all three formats. One name in this is Kiwi captain Kane Williamson who has played 49 matches as captain in T20 format. Kane has scored 1343 runs at an average of 31.43 during this period.

2. Virat Kohli (India)

Indian captain Virat Kohli is considered one of the best batsmen in all three formats. While captaining India in T20Is, Kohli has so far scored 1502 runs in 45 matches at an average of 48.45, including 12 half-centuries. At the same time, Kohli has also returned unbeaten 12 times during this period.

1. Aaron Finch (Australia)

When Aaron Finch was made the captain of the Australian limited-overs team, no one would have anticipated his tremendous success as a batsman. Finch has so far scored 1589 runs at an average of 36.11 after captaining in 49 matches, including 1 century and 10 half-centuries. Finch also has the highest score of 172 runs in a match as a captain.
