Guptill, who was close on his heels, now leapfrogged Rohit after making a 31-ball 40 against Scotland in the first T20I in Edinburgh.
During the course of the innings, Kiwi batter surpassed India skipper Sharma, who has 3379 runs, to achieve this big milestone in the shortest format of the game. The right-handed Guptill now has 3,399 runs in T20Is, 20 runs more than Sharma.
Kohl was the first to breach the 3000-run mark in T20Is when he achieved the feat in 2021 during the second T20I of the home series against England in Ahmedabad. The 2000-run mark was first crossed by Guptill's countryman, Brendon McCallum, eight years back. McCallum, was, in fact, the first to cross the 1000-run barrier too in men's T20Is. Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma was fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during the ISL, match against Punjab King's on Wednesday. This is the second time Rohit Sharma’s team has for the slow overrate in the tournament.
“The Mumbai Indians have been fined after they maintained a slow overrate during their TATA Indian Premier League (ISL) 2022 match against Punjab Kings at the MCA Stadium, Pune on April 13,” the ISL said in a statement. Earlier, Mumbai Indians inched closer towards elimination after setting themselves up for their first win, only to slump to their fifth defeat on the trot as Punjab Kings won a high-scoring ISL thriller by 12 runs in Pune on Wednesday.
A target of 199 looked imminently when teenagers Breves (49 off 25 balls) and NT Till, Parma (36 off 20 balls) were at the crease, but Punjab bowlers did well enough to restrict MI to 186 for nine at the end of 20 overs.
Ocean, Smith (4/30 in 4 overs) redeemed himself after the horror last two balls against Gujarat Titans as he got two wickets in the final over for Punjab.
For Mumbai, eight wins in nine games with this kind of bowling attack looks near impossible.
Currently, Guptill tops the list and is closely followed by the Indian duo of Rohit and Kohl. Paul Stirling comes fourth with 2894 T20I runs, while the Australian skipper Aaron Finch is fifth with 2855 runs,
The 35-year-old Guptill is the only New Zealand player in the top 10 with McCallum currently on 12th after finishing his career with, 2140 T20I runs. However, if there was one positive, it was Breves batting. It took eight balls before Breves could get going, as he unleashed a cover drive and a straight drive off Arshdeep Singh to tee off. A pulled six off Smith settled his nerves before he decided to wreak havoc with India international Rahul Char, nerve.
A boundary was followed by four huge sixes as Char, first, lost length and then his bearings as one long hop after another was deposited into the stands.
The Baby AB’s transformation from boy to a man happened with that 29-run over, which showed that MI had made a 10-year investment.
