All the teams have started their preparations for the upcoming edition of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/most-runs-in-icc-mens-t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup</a>, which is set to be hosted by Australia in October 2022. Continuing with the preparations, India will be hosting South Africa for a three-match T20I series starting September 28 in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The two teams will be clashing for the third time this year, and it surely will be an intriguing contest.

The Men in Blue are in great form, and they will look to carry the winning momentum into the upcoming series. One player who is the talk of the town is former India skipper Virat Kohli, who bounced back to form during the Asia Cup 2022 and has managed to perform consistently since. While the ace batter continues to pile up runs, he is also close to breaking a few records of the current skipper Rohit Sharma.

Let us look at three of Rohit Sharma’s records that Virat Kohli can break during the T20I series against South Africa-

<li><h3> Most half-centuries vs South Africa</h3></li>

Virat Kohli has scored the most half-centuries in the 20-over format, as he took the tally to 33 with his knock against Australia in the third and final T20I of the recently concluded three-match series, which helped the Men in Blue win the series and lift the trophy.

Of the 33, he has two against South Africa, which is equal to Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan’s record too, as the two opening batters have also scored two fifties against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/india-vs-south-africa-2022-where-to-watch-schedule-squads-and-all-you-need-to-know-8235/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Africa</a>. If Kohli bags a half-century in the upcoming series, before Rohit Sharma manages to do so, he’ll hold the record for the most half-centuries against South Africa.

Notably, Sharma also has a century against the Proteas, while Kohli only has two half-centuries. There are high chances of Kohli breaking the record and surpassing Sharma in this section as he is in great touch currently.

<li><h3> Top scorer against South Africa in T20Is</h3></li>

In the list of top run scorers against South Africa in T20Is, Kohli is in the third spot, below Rohit Sharma and former all-rounder Suresh Raina who are placed first and second respectively. While Sharma has 362 runs from 13 games against the opponent, Raina has 339 runs from 12 games.

Kohli has played 10 games against South Africa and has scored 254 runs against them. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/ind-vs-aus-virat-kohli-runs-hilariously-after-receiving-energetic-player-of-the-series-award/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> needs 108 runs to surpass Rohit Sharma, which can be highly achievable if he continues to perform similarly as he has been performing in recent times.

Kohli was India’s leading run scorer at the Asia Cup 2022 and has recently notched up a half-century against Australia too. If he continues to perform consistently, he has a high chance of surpassing both Raina and Sharma in the upcoming series.<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/most-runs-in-icc-mens-t20-world-cup/"></a>

<li><h3> Leading run-getter in T20I history</h3></li>

Well, everyone knows Rohit Sharma is currently the leading run scorer in the T20Is across the globe, but Kohli is not that far! While <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/rohit-sharmas-ability-to-play-against-fast-bowling-is-second-to-none-dinesh-karthik/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> has 3694 runs from 131 innings so far, the run-machine Kohli is right behind him with 3660 runs from 99 innings.

Kohli is just 34 runs away from Sharma, and he will need to score 34 runs more than what Sharma scores in the first T20I to achieve the feat. Even if he fails to, he will have two more games to aim for that target.

Kohli will not just become the leading run-scorer for India in T20Is, but also the leading run-scorer in the format. Also, the ace batter needs just 22 runs to complete 11000 T20 runs, which will make him the first-ever Indian batter to do so.
