T20 World Cup 2022: 5 Records Rohit Sharma can break during the tournament
Rohit Sharma is one of the very few players who have been a part of all T20 World Cup editions so far
- Most Runs in T20 World Cup
Sri Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene, who is also associated with the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians, tops the charts as he holds the record for having scored the most runs at the T20 World Cup. In the five editions of the tournament that Jayawardene has played, he has scored 1016 runs.
Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, is fourth on the list with 847 runs under his belt, as Jayawardene is followed by Chris Gayle and Tillakaratne Dilshan who have 965 and 897 runs respectively. Thus, the Indian skipper is just 169 runs away from becoming the leading run-scorer of the T20 World Cup.
Giving tough competition to Rohit Sharma in this particular race is former India skipper Virat Kohli, who has just two runs less than Sharma as Kohli’s total runs at T20 World Cup are 845. But yet again, Rohit Sharma has a high chance of breaking the record given the fact that he’s the opening batter.
