2. Virat Kohli becomes the highest run-getter in the history of the T20 World Cup
Virat Kohli has been India’s most bankable player for the big stages and is known to come to his own in ICC tournaments. In T20 World Cup 2022, the 34-year-old was in his elements and dominated bowling attacks. During the ace batter’s exceptional campaign, he achieved many milestones, one of which was - becoming the highest run-getter in T20 World Cup history.
When India took on the Bangla Tigers in the 35th match of the T20 extravaganza in Australia, Kohli was in pristine touch and took the Bangladesh bowlers to the cleaners. When the former Indian skipper reached 16 runs he surpassed Mahela Jayawardene (1016 runs in 31 matches) to become the highest run-getter in the history of the event.
The veteran batter smashed 64* runs off 44 deliveries, which included eight fours and a six. Riding on Kohli’s majestic half-century, India posted a competitive total of 184 on the board. India ended up winning the match by five runs (DLS method). India’s run machine presently stands at 1141 runs in 27 matches played in the T20 World Cup.
