**UAE’s Muhammad Waseem Shatters T20 Record, Becomes Fastest to 3,000 Runs**
**Dubai, UAE** – UAE captain Muhammad Waseem etched his name in T20 history during the Asia Cup 2025 Group match against Oman, achieving the milestone of scoring 3,000 T20 runs in record time. Waseem’s impressive 69-run innings propelled him past the previous record holders, including the likes of Jos Buttler and Rohit Sharma, becoming the fastest player to reach the 3,000-run mark in terms of balls faced.
Waseem is now the first cricketer globally to achieve this feat in under 2,000 balls, reaching the milestone in just 1947 deliveries. This surpasses England’s Jos Buttler, who previously held the record with 2068 balls. The top 5 list for the fewest balls to 3000 runs also includes Aaron Finch, David Warner, and Rohit Sharma.
Waseem also holds the record for the fewest T20 matches to reach 3,000 runs. While he ranks fourth in terms of fewest innings to the milestone (behind Mohammad Rizwan, Virat Kohli, and Babar Azam), he achieved this feat in his 84th T20 match, surpassing Babar Azam’s previous record of 86 matches.
At this point in his career, Waseem has amassed 3010 runs in 84 matches, including 3 centuries and 24 half-centuries. He is the first player from the UAE and the 11th globally to reach 3,000 runs in T20 Internationals.
