IND vs ENG: Virat Kohli Becomes First Player To Complete 4,000 T20I Runs

On Thursday, Virat Kohli became the first player to score more over 4,000 runs in T20Is. He accomplished it during the ongoing T20 World Cup semifinal match at Adelaide Oval versus England.

When India decided to bat first, the team suffered early setbacks when KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma were gone, but Kohli steadied the ship and passed the 4,000-run threshold in the process.

KL Rahul was bowled by Chris Woakes in the second over of the innings, and Kohli then came out to bat.

Virat Kohli Continues Outstanding Form In T20 World Cup 2022

In the semifinal match against England, Virat Kohli scored 50 runs before Adil Rashid ended his batting in the 18th over. In men’s T20Is, the right-handed Kohli is the top run-scorer, and Rohit Sharma is in second place with 3,853 runs.

The 34-year-old Kohli has been in phenomenal form throughout the current T20 World Cup. He produced three remarkable innings, including a miraculous 82* against Pakistan. In the current tournament, he has also recorded half-centuries against Bangladesh and the Netherlands.

When Pakistan reduced India to 31/4 as they were chasing 160 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they were in serious trouble. However, Kohli led the charge with an incredible 82* knock from just 53 deliveries to help Rohit Sharma and company win the match.
