Indian Premier League (IPL) started in 2008 and since then many records have been broken. The league has always given batters a chance to score big runs and some batters have totally used this chance. IPL has seen many players like Chris Gayle, David Warner, Virat Kohli, and others setting records with the bat.
In the current season, batters are making names by taking bowlers for fun. They are in full control of the game while bowlers are on the back foot. There are few batters who can cross the 4000 runs mark in the IPL and we take a look at the top 3 players to score the fastest 4000 runs.
1. Suryakumar Yadav
The game between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai saw Suryakumar Yadav reaching the 4000 run mark. It took him only 2714 balls to get his name on the landmark. In the same game, he scored 54 runs off 28 balls and helped MI reach the 215-run target. Suryakumar Kumar was wearing Orange Cap but Virat knock in the night game took it away. He now sits in second place with 427 runs.
2. AB de Villiers
When it comes to T20 cricket, AB de Villiers is regarded as the “GOAT.” He began his career with the Delhi Daredevils (now the Delhi Capitals) in 2008. Later he joined RCB where he shined due to his batting style. AB de Villiers was part of many high-scoring matches. He scripted history by becoming the second-fastest player in IPL by reaching the 4000-run mark from 2658 balls. He participated in 184 cricket matches and scored more than 5162 runs before retiring.
3. Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle is among few batters who are more dangerous in T20 cricket. It took Gayle only 2658 balls to reach this milestone as well. During his playing days, Gayle used to attack from the start of the innings, and it was a difficult task to get him out. His unbeaten knock of 175 runs against Pune Warriors India is still in the minds of cricketing fans.
