Amid the excitement of CPL 2024, a new record-holder has emerged in the Caribbean Premier League’s history books. The moment arrived after a gripping encounter between Trinbago Knight Riders and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, where Andre Fletcher, SKNP’s skipper, played a remarkable knock of 93 runs.
However, despite his brilliance, it ended in a losing cause as his side succumbed to a ninth straight defeat. But Fletcher’s feat wasn’t in vain — this innings catapulted him past Johnson Charles to become the all-time CPL leading-run scorer.
Fletcher’s record-breaking career spans from 2013, with 3,135 runs in 115 innings at an average of 29.85 and a strike rate of 121.93. He has smashed 19 fifties in CPL history, and his highest score of 93* came during this significant match. His ability to score consistently over the years with 255 fours and 146 sixes cements his status as one of the most dangerous batters in the CPL.
Who is CPL leading-run scorer in 2024 season?
In CPL 2024, Fletcher has been just as influential. With 318 runs in 10 innings, averaging 31.80 and striking at a healthy 149.29, Fletcher currently holds the second spot among the leading run-getters this season. However, Barbados Royals’ Quinton de Kock leads the chart, having accumulated 391 runs in 8 innings, including an incredible century (115) with a strike rate of 168.53.
Despite winning their CPL 2024 opener, SKNP’s form collapsed as they endured nine consecutive defeats, a stark contrast to Fletcher’s personal achievements. But as the all-time CPL leading-run scorer, Fletcher’s legacy in Caribbean cricket is now unshakable.
