Most Run in BBL 2026: Who is the Top Run Scorer Till Now?

Has the boundary rope ever felt closer to the pitch? The 2025/26 Big Bash League season has developed into a bowlers’ graveyard and a batters’ playground. Due to flat pitches at the Gabba and Marvel Stadium, which have produced true bounce and fast outfield, the “par” score has drastically increased. BJ Sports has tracked this increase in run scoring and noted that aggressive intent is no longer an option; it is required. At the midpoint of the season, the leaderboard is filled with hundreds of strike-rates that defy common sense. It’s not just about viewing a game of cricket; it is viewing a demolition derby, and the battle for the Golden Bat is as close as a T20 Super Over.

Sam Harper: 251 Runs

Sam Harper of the Melbourne Stars has clearly been an impact player, leading the way with his impressive wicketkeeping/batting. Harper has accumulated 251 runs from six games, showing the power he has to be successful early on for the Stars. Harper’s 110* was not just a long innings; rather, it was a technical demolition of the opposing team. According to BJ Sports’ player performance metrics, Harper has a strike rate of 160.89 and does not waste time getting his eyes in before attacking the ball; as such, he attacks the ball immediately upon its release.

Matt Renshaw: 245 Runs

Who could have predicted that technically sound Australian batsman Matt Renshaw would end up as the runner-up in the T20 run-charts after being successful at scoring 245 runs with one hundred plus a century (102) and a strike rate of 157.05? The fans checking the live cricket scores are shocked at how much Renshaw has changed his batting style for the Brisbane Heat. Unlike many players who are simply running between wickets, Renshaw is taking the ball deep into the boundary area and blasting it over the rope with powerful, clean hitting, showing that there is no reason why old-school technique cannot thrive in today’s high-impact game.

David Warner: 241 Runs

Never write off a champion. David Warner sits in third place with 241 runs, anchored by a monstrous 130*, the highest individual score of the tournament so far. While the younger generation relies on power, Warner relies on placement and aggressive running. The cricket match schedule is grueling, but Warner’s fitness and experience allow him to turn twos into threes, putting immense pressure on fielders before launching into the stands.

N Chaudhary: 240 Runs

Hot on Warner’s heels is the Hobart Hurricanes’ N Chaudhary with 240 runs. Unlike the others who rely on massive centuries, Chaudhary has been a model of consistency, contributing significant scores (HS 79) in almost every innings. BJ Sports analytics reveal that his ability to rotate strike in the middle overs prevents the run rate from stagnating, making him the perfect link between the top order and the finishers.

Matthew Gilkes: 208 Runs

Gilkes finished with 5th most runs at 208 and has the best Impact rating (based on a strike rate of 166.40) as he impacted the game almost entirely through his boundary hitting; and by doing so, removes the pressure off of all the batters who will be batting against him and reduces the required run rate for the remaining batters which will give them a much easier position to start their chase than if they had not had the opportunity to bat against Gilkes.

Top 5 BBL 2025/26 Run Scorers

Every single player in the top five is striking above 150. While fans enjoy livestreaming on Sportslivehub, they are witnessing a fundamental shift in T20 strategy where “anchoring” is dead. The battle at the very top of the ladder is far from over, with only 43 runs separating the first five players on the table, and a single great batting performance could completely flip the entire table on its head.
