5 contenders to overtake Chris Gayle's 10,000+ T20 runs mark

#1 Brendon McCullum

The man who set the inaugural edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) on fire with a scintillating 158*, travels around the globe to play in all the major T20 leagues.

The hard-hitting Kiwi is a freelance T20 cricketer these days and plays in major T20 leagues like Big Bash League, Natwest T20, Caribbean Premier League, Bangladesh Premier League and Indian Premier League (IPL).

McCullum has scored a massive 8245 runs in his T20 career so far from 297 games and is second in the list of all-time run-scorers behind Gayle.

At 36, McCullum is fit and can play for another three to four years, giving him every chance to go past Chris Gayle.
