The fastest cricket player Babar Azam has scored 2000 runs in 54 T20Is.

Babar Azam, Pakistan’s answer to the legacy of young cricket, has been the top batsman in T20 cricket for quite some time. The right-handed hitter from Lahore made his T20 debut in September 2016 against England in Manchester. Since then, the prolific run-scorer has scored goals for a century and a half in that format, requiring him just 52 innings to reach 2000 runs. Azam became one of the fastest batsmen to reach 2000 T20I runs against Zimbabwe in April 2021, and as the fastest player, he recorded 52 out of 46 balls.

Virat Kohli excels in limited-over cricket, but few players have played T20 cricket as well as the King of Cricket. Kohli, who debuted in the format in June 2010, had his 30 half-century batting average of 137.66. Kohli helped the team chase his 160 runs in his 2018 match against England, where he scored 2,000 runs in 56 innings, going unbeaten by 20 runs. The former India captain of his team is the fastest player in international T20 cricket and he is also the second most awarded Man of the Match.
