T20 World Cup 2022: Best XI of the tournament
There were certain players who lighted the T20 extravaganza with their blistering performances.
3. Virat Kohli
At the T20 World Cup 2022, Virat Kohli showed the cricket fraternity why he is one of the best in business. In India’s opening game of the tournament against Pakistan, Kohli played an innings of the ages to take his team across the line. His knock of 82* runs came in 53 balls and comprised six fours and four maximums.
After playing an epic innings against the eternal rivals, the 34-year-old continued on his red-hot form and piled on runs for fun. Kohli accumulated 296 runs in six games at a strike rate of 136.40, which included four majestic half-centuries. He steadied the ship when the Men in Blue were in trouble and shepherd the innings beautifully.
Amid Kohli’s stellar run in the marquee event, he broke many records. The ace batter surpassed his compatriot Rohit Sharma to become the leading run-getter in the T20Is. The former Indian skipper presently stands at 4008 runs in 115 games. Moreover, he became the leading run-scorer in the history of the T20 World Cup by overtaking Mahela Jayawardane’s record tally of 1016 runs.
