Overview
- Pollard moved past Chris Gayle on Sunday, June 21, 2026, finishing his innings with about 14,582 runs to Gayle’s 14,562 according to multiple reports.
- The record came during Pollard’s unbeaten 100 off 56 balls for MI New York in Major League Cricket, but his side lost after Washington Freedom posted 245 for 5.
- Washington’s total was built around Mitchell Owen’s 155 from 68 balls, an innings that effectively decided the match and left Pollard’s century in a losing cause.
- Pollard has now played roughly 736 T20 matches, is the only player to exceed 700 appearances, and the century was only the second T20 hundred of his career.
- The milestone shifts a decade-old leaderboard kept by Gayle and underlines how extended franchise careers can move all-time totals, with players such as Alex Hales and Jos Buttler close enough that the top spot could change again.
