Most Runs in BPL 2026: Who is the Top Run Scorer So Far

The 2026 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League has turned into a batter’s paradise, where gravity seems like a mere suggestion rather than a rule. As the leather flies into the stands with increasing frequency, fans tuning in for the Live streaming on Sportslivehub are witnessing a fierce battle for the coveted Golden Bat. The competition is heating up, and the leaderboard is shifting with every over. Based on the latest data from BJ Sports, we break down the elite list of run-machines who are currently dictating the flow of the tournament.

Najmul Hossain Shanto (203 Runs)

Captain Shanto has played extremely well for the Rangpur Riders. Through 4 innings of play, he is batting at an average of 67.66. In addition to just making it through the innings, he is excelling. As the only player to have scored 100+ (101*) in the tournament, he can be considered a threat due to his ability to use precision with his timing to find areas of the field to hit at a high strike rate of 147.10. Not only does he accelerate late in the inning, but he also helps take pressure off himself by scoring early in the game, and presents a challenge for the opposing captain to determine how to position their players in the field.

Parvez Hossain Emon (184 Runs)

Close on the heels of Bangladesh’s opening batsman Shanto is the youngster for Sylhet Strikers’ Parvez Hossain Emon. The way Emon is playing as an opener is different from other openers who play with a more classic style of cricket and are trying to destroy the stadium building. BJ sports player profiles show that he is a firebrand with big guns, having taken out 14 fours and 9 sixes in his short career. His strike rate is 147.20, which means he has the aggression that Sylhet were looking for in their opening batting order to take away the opposition early in the match, while the opposing team is still getting used to the conditions.

Dawid Malan (133 Runs)

Malan has enhanced the complexity of this rankings system, with 66.5 and 133 runs in just 3 innings; He should be considered a favorite to take over at number one in the next few weeks, since he will be playing on the same surface as Emon had a major effect. Malan’s ability to score the occasional six like Emon’s, but more importantly, to enter into a rhythm of scoring freely off loose bowling while maintaining strike rotation to continue to put pressure on the opposing team’s bowlers.

Mushfiqur Rahim (112 Runs)

Mr. Dependable – Mushfiqur Rahim has been quietly adding to Bangladesh’s T20 batting totals with an impressive 112 runs, and is not out after being at the crease for all or part of each of his last four innings. His contributions are clearly seen in BJ Sports’ statistics as the anchor of the team; while he does not have the highest strike rate (119.14) amongst the players, his average (56.00) provides evidence of why he is the glue to the middle-order batting line-up that holds the innings together.

Mohammad Naim (104 Runs)

Mohammad Naim, the opening batsman for Chattogram Challengers, rounds out the top 5 after an impressive start to the season, with a total of 104 runs off of just three innings at a strike-rate of 146.47. Using the full extent of the 6 over limit, Naim is also using the quick nature of the ball to good effect, as evidenced by his current 16 boundaries. If he can turn those 30’s and 50’s into a big hundred, then his name will be right near the top of this list in no time.
