He was also the first player to score 1,000 runs. 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.

In terms of innings, Pakistan's Babar Azam is the fastest (52 innings) to reach the 2,000 run mark, surpassing India's Virat Kohli, who achieved the feat in 56 innings.^[1] Currently the list of highest run-scorer is topped with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Martin Guptill.
