5 batters with most runs in India-Australia T20Is

Overview

• Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who retired after the T20 World Cup 2024, are among the 5 leading run-scorers in India-Australia T20Is
• Virat is the undisputed leader of the list with 794 runs to his name in 22 innings against the 2021 T20 World Cup winners
• The list also features the Australian batters like Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Finch, and Matthew Wade 

The ODI series between India and Australia in October 2025 came to an end with the latter winning it 2-1. The focus will now shift to the T20I series of 5 matches, which will be highly important for both teams to try and prepare ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026. The series will not feature Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who were a part of the ODI series.

However, the veterans, who retired after the T20 World Cup 2024, are among the 5 leading run-scorers in India-Australia T20Is. India might miss the services of the experienced batters in the series, given some of their best performances came against the 2021 T20 world champions. Some of the Australian batters have a good record against India in the shorter format.

5 batters with most runs in India-Australia T20Is

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has a good record against Australia in T20Is, especially in the T20 World Cup. His performance against them in the T20 World Cups in 2010 and 2024 were great. Rohit's 92 in the T20 World Cp 2024 knocked Australia out of the tournament. In 20 innings, Sharma has 484 runs in the India-Australia T20Is.

Matthew Wade

Matthew Wade has been one of the best batters in T20s in the last few years. His finishing prowess in the T20 World Cup 2021 was one of the key reasons behind Australia's win in the tournament. Wade has played in different positions over the years and is still among the top run-getters in the India-Australia T20Is. In 15 innings, the Southpaw has 488 runs against India.

Aaron Finch 

Aaron Finch is regarded as one of the best openers in T20 Internationals. To date, he holds the record for the highest individual score for a batter in T20Is against the Test playing nations. While he did not enjoy a great success in the T20 World Cups, Finch had good numbers against India in the bilaterals. In the India-Australia T20Is, he had 500 runs in 18 innings, which is the third most for a batter.

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is one of the greatest batters in T20 cricket. In T20 internationals, he is among the greatest middle order batters. The right-handed batter has won multiple matches for Australia, especially against India. Against the 2-time T20 World Champions alone, he has two hundreds in the format. Maxwell has 574 runs in 21 innings against India, which is the most for an Australian.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is way too far ahead compared to anyone in the list. The right-handed batter has 220 runs more than the second best batter in the list. Some of Virat's greatest performances in T20Is came against Australia, including his knock in the T20 World Cup in 2016 in Mohali. In 22 innings against Australia, the star batter has 794 runs, which is the most for a batter in the India-Australia T20Is.
