2. Virat Kohli – 232 innings

When his team, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), played the Mumbai Indians in Dubai, Virat Kohli became the first Indian batter to reach 10,000 runs in Twenty20 cricket.

3. Sunil Gavaskar – 243 innings

Ijaz Faqih, a Pakistani spinner, was the bowler against whom Gavaskar scored his 10,000th Test run. He said, “once you get to that 10,000 it is absolutely magical. Magical because it had not been done before. Even 9,000 had not been done before, and I did it. But 9,000 is a four-digit number. 10,000 is a five-digit number, so it was almost like climbing Mt Everest for the first time.”
