Although Buttler managed only 16 runs off 11 balls, the knock was enough to take his career tally to 14,572 T20 runs, lifting him above Chris Gayle and into second place on the all-time list. Manchester Super Giants went on to defeat London Spirit by seven runs, with Liam Livingstone earning the Player of the Match award.
Jos Buttler entered the match needing only a handful of runs to move ahead of Chris Gayle, and he reached the landmark during his brief innings at Lord's. The England star now has 14,572 runs from 487 T20 innings, while Gayle finished his career with 14,562 runs from 455 innings.
The milestone also reflects Jos Buttler's return to top form in 2026. After a difficult period with the bat, he rediscovered his rhythm during the IPL, where he scored heavily for Gujarat Titans before carrying that confidence into international cricket and The Hundred.
