Cardiff, England: In a historic milestone, Jos Buttler, the England wicketkeeper-batter, has etched his name in the books of T20 cricket by becoming the first player to amass 15,000 runs in the format. The remarkable achievement was made during England's second T20I against Sri Lanka on Thursday, where the talented batsman surpassed West Indies legend Kieron Pollard's record of 14,999 runs in 754 matches.
Buttler's feat was accomplished in 528 matches, with an impressive average of 35.46 and a strike rate of 147.46. The milestone was achieved with a single off Eshan Malinga in the fifth over of England's run chase, leading the team to a six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka and an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
