Written by Vipin Darwade

Former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni added yet another feather to his glittering cap, as he completed 6000 runs in Twenty20s, during a match against Delhi Daredevils on Friday.

Dhoni became the fifth Indian to complete 6000 runs in T20s. Suresh Raina (7708), Virat Kohli (7621), Rohit Sharma (7303) and Gautam Gambhir (6402) are the other Indian batsmen who have achieved the feat. He needed 10 runs to enter the 6000 club ahead of the Delhi Daredevils clash. The Chennai Super Kings skipper scored 17 runs before being dismissed by pacer Trent Boult. The 36-year-old now has 6007 runs to his name from 290 T20 matches.

West Indies’ devastating batsman Chris Gayle is on top of the most runs list with 11436 runs to his name, with 21 centuries and 50 half-centuries. New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum is second in the list with 9119 runs in 335 matches at an average of 30.70.
