ICC T20 World Cup: Decoding The Major Records Scripted By Virat Kohli

Earlier in the tourney, Kohli surpassed Mahela Jayawardene’s tally of 1016 runs to become the highest-scorer in the tournament's history. Kohli and Jayawardene are the only players with 1000-plus runs in the WC's history...

Virat Kohli had a dream 2022 ICC T20 World Cup for India. He was amongst the runs and finished the tournament on a high by scoring a fifty in the semis. However, his 40-ball 50 wasn't enough as England breezed past India with a 10-wicket win at the Adelaide Oval. India managed 168/6 in 20 overs before Alex Hales (86*) and Jos Buttler (80*) helped England win. Meanwhile, Kohli went on to script several records throughout the tournament, and with his fifty versus England, he wrote the record books.

Here we decode the major records scripted by Kohli.

FIRST PLAYER TO SCORE 4000 RUNS

Enroute to his 50-run-knock versus England, Kohli broke the 4000-run mark barrier. Notably, he is the first player to score 4000 runs in men's T20Is. Kohli now has 4008 runs from 115 T20Is at an average of 52.73. He has a sound strike rate of 137.96. He slammed his 37th fifty and has 38 fifty-plus scores (one century).
