Virat Kohli can break many records in T20 World Cup 2024: All 20 teams participating in ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 have arrived in USA for the major ICC event. The Indian cricket team have already begun its practice sessions, with Rohit Sharma leading the squad.
Following their narrow miss in the ODI World Cup final, Rohit Sharma's Men in Blue are determined to fulfill the fans' dream by securing the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy, thereby ending an 11-year ICC trophy drought.
Indian batting icon Virat Kohli will play a crucial role in turning this dream into reality. Having been the top run-scorer (Orange Cap winner) in IPL 2024, Kohli is poised to set numerous records in ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in USA and West Indies.
Let's have a look at the three big records Virat Kohli could break in ICC T20 World Cup 2024 with his exceptional batting performance...
Most fours in T20 World Cup: Virat Kohli currently holds the position of the second-highest number of fours in T20 World Cup history, with 103 fours. He is closely following Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene, who leads with 111 fours in this major event. This gives Kohli a prime opportunity to surpass the former Sri Lankan batsman's record.
Most runs in single T20 World Cup edition: Virat Kohli holds the record for most runs scored in a single T20 World Cup season. In the 2014 edition of T20 World Cup, Kohli amassed 319 runs in 6 matches, including 4 fifties. Given his outstanding form in the 2024 IPL, there is a strong possibility that Kohli could surpass his own record in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 edition.
Most runs in T20 World Cup history: Virat Kohli holds the record for most runs scored in T20 World Cup history, amassing 1141 runs in 27 matches at an impressive average of 81.50 and a strike rate of 131.30. He has also achieved 14 fifties in the tournament. In the upcoming T20 World Cup, Kohli has the opportunity to extend his total to 1500 runs, potentially becoming the first player to reach this milestone.
