England skipper Jos Buttler became the fourth batter in the world to complete 1,000 runs in T20 World Cup history during the semifinal match against India at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Thursday.
Buttler had 990 runs in his T20 World Cup career ahead of the match and reached the 1,000-run mark with a single off Jasprit Bumrah in the second over. The England captain was dismissed for a 15-ball 23 by Axar Patel in the fourth over.
Buttler is the first English batter to score 1,000 T20 World Cup runs and only the fourth in the world, after Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Mahela Jayawardene.
Buttler is also the leading run-scorer for England in all Twenty20 Internationals and the only Englishman to have scored more than 3,000 runs in the shortest format of the game.
