Kieron Pollard might have left the IPL, yet his batting figures are still haunting the India great Virat Kohli. In a major milestone achievement, Pollard moved to the 4th place in the list of highest run-scorers in T20 cricket history during the MLC 2025 season.

Kieron Pollard’s consistent participation worldwide has provided the platform for this milestone. In contrast, Kohli, having retired from T20 internationals after World Cup 2024 now focuses solely on the IPL and ODIs.

Pollard Stands 4th In Highest T20 Run-Getter List

While Chris Gayle stands at the top with his massive 14K+ runs, it is to be noted that Pollard surpassed Kohli after playing over 600 games while the RCB star has played only 414 T20 matches.

This milestone demonstrates how longevity and consistency in T20 cricket allow players to etch their names in history through global league performances, irrespective of international commitments. 

Pollard Continues To Dominate After IPL Retirement

Virat Kohli and Pollard exemplify distinct routes to T20 excellence. Kohli built his legacy through classical technique and remarkable consistency, accumulating over 13,500 runs in just 414 matches primarily for India and Royal Challengers Bangalore while maintaining elite batting averages. 

Meanwhile, Pollard, a globe-trotting all-rounder, recently surpassed Kohli's tally with 13,569 runs across 696 matches, leveraging explosive power-hitting and finishing skills to become a franchise league stalwart worldwide. 

However, Pollard's 32 off 16 in his first match of MLC 2025 was in a lost cause since MI New York lost the match to Texas Super Kings for whom, Faf du Plessis grabbed a game-changing catch.
