Scoring more than 2,000 runs in T20I format of cricket is considered a significant achievement. In 2014, England batter Charlotte Edwards became the first woman to score 2,000 runs in Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I). Later in 2014, she also became the first player (either male or female) to cross 2500 runs. [1] She retired as the most prolific run scorer in WT20Is, with a total of 2605 runs in March 2016. She remained as leading run-scorer (either male or female) for another 2 years until it was broken by Suzie Bates of New Zealand in June 2018, who later became the first player (either male or female) to score 3000, 3500 and 4000 runs in T20Is as well.

In terms of innings, Australia's Beth Mooney is the fastest (67) to reach the 2,000 run mark, whereas Englands's Danni Wyatt is the slowest (105) to reach the mark. [4]
