Big Bash League is the second-most-watched T20 competition in the world after the Indian Premier League. Australia’s premier T20 competition has successfully completed eleven editions since its inception.
The fans are following the twelfth edition of the KFC Big Bash League. The league has witnessed only two batters scoring more than 3000 runs in the BBL since the inaugural edition.
It is not that easy to accumulate more runs in the truncated version of the game because chances are high that the batters might get dismissed inside the powerplay overs by trying to go for maximums.
However, the only deserving players have defied the odds and thrived in the BBL. In this article, we will take a look at the two players who have scored more than 3000 runs in the Big Bash League.

Notably, he has maintained an exceptional strike rate of 147.83 including one century and 27 fifties to his name. He registered his best score of 101 in the KFC Big Bash League.
