T20 World Cup Records: During this year’s ICC T20 World Cup 2022, which is being held in Australia, Virat Kohli appears to have regained his lost batsmanship. In India’s first four games, Kohli has already amassed three half-centuries, putting him well on his way to becoming a serious contender for Player of the Tournament.
In the meantime, the megastar batsman has set numerous records during the history of the T20 World Cup, which has not only allowed him to take his place among the game’s greats but also enabled him to reach personally significant milestones that will likely not be broken for a very long time.
Virat Kohli’s excellent play during the T20 World Cup
By surpassing Sri Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene (1016 runs), Virat Kohli has now formally taken the top spot as the T20 World Cup’s all-time best run-scorer. He accomplished this during Bangladesh’s Super 12 match against India on Wednesday, November 2, at Adelaide Oval. Kohli finished the game undefeated, scoring 64 runs off 44 pitches with a remarkable strike rate of 144.5.
The legendary batsman also boasts of having the highest batting average (88.75) and most half-centuries in T20 World Cup history (13). In addition to all of them, Virat also holds the record for winning the most Player of the Match honours, with seven.
With 1065 runs from 25 matches and 23 innings in this competition, averaging 88.75 and a strike rate of 132.46, including 13 half-centuries, it appears like he will hold the top spot for a very long time. The only other player still playing in this group is his colleague and captain Rohit Sharma (921), who is now in fourth place.
The 33-year-old not only has the most Player of the Match accolades, but also the most Player of the Tournament awards. He even won two of them in back-to-back competitions in 2014 and 2016—a record that may never be matched.
