ADELAIDE: Virat Kohli‘s return among the runs at the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia fetched him another world record as he became the top scorer in the T20 World Cup history during India’s Group 2 match against Bangladesh in Adelaide on Wednesday.
When Virat hit his 16th run en route to his half-century, he went past former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardena’s 1016 runs in T20 World Cups. This was also Kohli’s third half-century of this edition of the tournament in four matches.
Jayawardena had scored his 1016 runs in 31 innings, while Kohli crossed that mark in his 23rd innings in T20 World Cups.
Kohli ended up scoring 64 not out off 44 balls to lead India to a commanding 184/6 against Bangladesh, who had won the toss and chose to bowl first.
Kohli is now the leading run-scorer in T20 World Cups, T20Is and IPL (6411).
