T20I Stats: Most Runs in Home Venues

The T20 International (T20I) format is already swayed towards the batters, with flatter pitches, bigger bats, and shorter boundaries. It gets even worse for bowlers when batters play in their familiar territory — their home grounds.

Many batters have capitalised on the well-known conditions and accumulated loads of runs for fun. Here, we’ll look at the top 10 batters with the most runs at home in T20I cricket.
