A Rare Milestone in T20 Cricket
Alex Hales has reached an important milestone in T20 cricket — he became the third cricketer in history to score 14,000 runs. He achieved this while playing for Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2025).
Hales scored 74 off 43 balls against Guyana Amazon Warriors, becoming only the third player in history to reach 14,000 T20 runs.
Only Two Players Achieved This Before
Before Hales, only two legends had managed the feat: Chris Gayle, the leading run-scorer in T20 history, and West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard — who reached the 14,000-run milestone just a day before, on August 30, 2025, during CPL 2025.
This milestone puts Alex Hales in the elite company of Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard, showcasing his consistency and lasting impact in T20 cricket.
Why This Milestone Matters
T20 cricket is fast-paced and competitive. Reaching 14,000 runs requires consistency, longevity, and skill across different leagues and conditions.
Hales has played in the Big Bash, Pakistan Super League, and CPL, showing steady performance over many seasons. This milestone reflects his experience and reliability at the top of the order.
Final Thoughts
Reaching 14,000 T20 runs is a significant achievement for Alex Hales. It confirms his place among the top run-scorers in T20 history and adds a notable milestone to his career.
