Virat Kohli is giving a flood of runs with the bat after a long off form. The former Indian captain has become irresistible again since the last Asia Cup. The proof of which is found in the T20 World Cup in Australia. He is also the highest run scorer in this World Cup so far. King Kohli became the owner of a different record.
The highest run in the history of T20 World Cup is occupied by the bat of Kohli. The record was owned by Mahela Jayawardene. The World Cup run of this former Sri Lankan batsman is 1016. The Indian batsman surpassed the Lankan legend on his way to a 44-ball 64 against Bangladesh in Adelaide on Wednesday.
In his career, Kohli played the first T20 World Cup in 2012. He scored 185 runs with the bat in that season. He scored 319 runs in the 2014 World Cup. He scored 273 runs at home in 2016. He has scored consistently in almost every event. That’s why Jayawardene got toppled very easily.
Kohli has scored a total of 220 runs in 4 matches so far in this World Cup. Where he scored unbeaten half-centuries in two consecutive matches against Pakistan and Netherlands. However, he did not get run in the next match against South Africa. But this batsman, one of the best batsmen of the time, shone again against Bangladesh. He became the man of the match.
