Nicholas Pooran of the West Indies continued his impressive run in the ongoing T20 World Cup, holding onto the top spot for most runs scored after the Super Eight match between India and Afghanistan in Barbados on Thursday. This makes him the only batsman to have surpassed the 200-run mark in the tournament so far.
Closely trailing Pooran is USA’s Andries Gous, who put up a remarkable performance in the first game of the Super Eight stage, smashing an unbeaten 80 runs off just 47 balls against South Africa. The Afghanistan duo of Rahmanullag Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran are in third and fourth place respectively, while Australia’s Marcus Stoinis rounds out the top five run-scorers.
Pooran’s consistent performance has been a crucial factor in West Indies’ progress in the tournament, while Gous’ impressive debut has been a highlight of the Super Eight stage. The competition for the top spot is intensifying, with several other batsmen looking to make their mark in the remaining matches. It will be interesting to see if anyone can dethrone Pooran from his current position.
