Jos Buttler has achieved a major milestone, becoming the fifth player in cricket history to complete 14,000 T20 runs. Alongside this, he reached his 100th T20 fifty, continuing his form in the 2026 IPL, having also recently surpassed 600 T20 sixes. The wicketkeeper-batter achieved this milestone while playing for Gujarat Titans against Lucknow Super Giants in the 2026 IPL clash at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium on Sunday.
Buttler has raced to a tally of 14,000-plus runs in 468 innings across 497 T20 matches at an average of 34-plus, as per stats.
Chris Gayle (14,562), Kieron Pollard (14,482), Alex Hales (14,449), and David Warner (14,121) are the only batters ahead of Buttler in terms of T20 runs. The Englishman has scored eight centuries and 99 fifties in the format. His record of 107 50-plus scores in the format is also the fifth-most for any player. Over 9,750 of Buttler's T20 runs have come as a designated wicket-keeper. Only South Africa's Quinton de Kock (11,313) has more runs in this regard.

GT wins over LSG owing to Gill and Buttler’s blistering Knock
Gujarat Titans had a rather slow start in IPL 2026. They only have one win in the last three matches coming to this game, a thriller that they won against the Delhi Capitals, whereas LSG recently won against KKR in a thriller of a game, where their youngster Mukul Choudhury scored a match-winning knock.
Coming to today's game, GT won the toss and elected to bowl first. LSG started off at a fast rate, but the wickets kept dropping at regular intervals. Mitch Marsh, Aiden Markram, Pant and Nicholas Pooran - their stars couldn’t play a big innings, resulting in pressure, but the lower order did chip in to take the score past 150. Prasidh Krishna was GT’s star bowler, taking 4 wickets. Also, the side was good in fielding today, too, keeping the score in control.
Gujarat Titans had an impressive start with Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill in 2nd innings. The two put on 45 runs in five overs before Digvesh Rathi dismissed Sudharsan for 15 off 14 balls. Buttler and Gill then stitched a partnership, ensuring a smooth chase in the middle overs for GT.
Both Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler slammed half-centuries, rolling in the runs without giving away wickets during the chase. Then Prince Yadav got Shubman out for 56(40) in the 15th over. Soon, Shami got rid of Buttler for 60 in the next over. After that, Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia easily chased down the total in 18.4 overs, giving the Gujarat Titans now 2 wins in 4 games.
