New Zealand player Martin Guptill is on the verge of breaking a crucial record of Virat Kohli in the upcoming IND vs NZ 2nd T20I. Martin Guptill is just 11 runs short to surpass Kohli as the highest run-getter in T20I cricket. If he manages to score 11 runs in the India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I game, he will become the batsman with the most runs in T20I internationals.
Virat Kohli is the highest run-getter in T20I internationals, with 3227 runs in 87 innings at an average of 52.04. He is currently the highest run-getter in T20I cricket and has held the record in recent years for a lot of time. However, since he has been rested from the ongoing IND vs NZ T20I series, Martin Guptill can steal the record from him.

Martin Guptill Needs 11 Runs To Replace Virat Kohli As Highest Run-Getter in T20Is
The New Zealand opener Martin Guptill accounts for 3217 runs in 106 innings at an average of 32.49. Hence, he needs 11 more runs to surpass Virat Kohli as the top run-getter in the shortest format.
The right-handed batsman slammed a fabulous knock of 70 runs in IND vs NZ 1st T20I. He was close to surpassing Virat Kohli’s record in the previous game itself. However, he came a victim of Deepak Chahar’s delivery.
India’s T20I skipper Rohit Sharma is also not too far in the race of leading run-getters in T20Is. Sharma holds 3rd place in the list with 3086 runs in 117 matches. He is currently short of 142 runs from Kohli’s tally. Sharma slammed a 48-run knock in the IND vs NZ 1st T20I.
