T20 World Cup 2022: 5 Records Virat Kohli broke during the tournament
Virat Kohli was at his best at the T20 World Cup 2022 and played many astonishing knocks in the competition.
2. Most runs in the history of T20 World Cup
Mahela Jayawardene was the most prolific run-getter in the history of the T20 World Cup as the ongoing T20 extravaganza kick-started, having amassed 1016 runs in 31 matches played from the 2007 to 2014 editions of the tournament. However, Kohli surpassed his record tally when India took the stage alongside Bangladesh.
After India lost Rohit early, the former Indian skipper shepherded the innings beautifully and allowed stroke makers around him to play with freedom. At the fag end of the innings, Kohli unleashed and put on an exhibition of his glorious strokeplay to take his team to a good total. The veteran batter broke Jayawardene’s record when he reached 16 runs during his innings against the Bangla Tigers.
After battling Shakib Al Hasan & Co., Kohli continued his stellar form with the bat and ended up aggregating a total of 1141 runs in 27 matches played in the T20 World Cup. This landmark is not expected to be broken in the near future as the active international cricketer who is next to him is Rohit, with 963 runs to his name.
