Top 5 Indian Batsmen With The Most Runs In A Single Edition Of T20 World Cup

India after the maiden T20 World cup triumph hasn’t had the best results in the tournament despite the batsmen doing their job on most occasions throughout history. The closest India had gone is the finals of the 2014 T20 World cup and went on to lose the game to Sri Lanka. A lot of experts do feel that the format has evolved and India has been sticking with its old methods.

During India’s campaign in the ongoing T20 World cup 2021, India lost to Pakistan and New Zealand and it meant that India’s hopes of making the semi-finals were shattered despite their 3 wins. They will have to take out the positives from the past ahead of the next T20 World cup and here are the top 5 Indian batsmen with the most runs in a single edition of the T20 World cup.

Top 5 Indian Batsmen With The Most Runs In A Single Edition Of T20 World Cup:

Virat Kohli:

Virat Kohli had a phenomenal 2014 T20 World cup and he took the Indian side to the finals as well. He kept piling up runs and was reaching the peak of his career. He finished as the man of the tournament despite India not winning the finals.

Virat Kohli finished with 319 runs in the 2014 T20 World cup and this is the highest tally of runs in a single edition of the tournament by an Indian batsman. Kohli hit four half-centuries in the tournament with the highest score of 77 and he had a stunning average of 106.33 as well.

Virat Kohli:

Virat Kohli was the man in form for India in the T20 World cup 2021 where he excelled with 273 runs in 5 games at an average of 136.50. He hit three half-centuries in the tournament and was rewarded the man of the tournament despite India losing out in the semi-finals.

Kohli played a key part in India reaching the semi-finals and almost took the team through to the finals as well with an excellent knock. It is very disheartening that Virat Kohli had signed off his T20 international captaincy without an ICC trophy.

Gautam Gambhir:

Gautam Gambhir was one of the most responsible cricketers for India in the T20 World cup 2007 where he amassed 227 runs in seven games at an average of 37.83. His highest score of 75 came in the finals when the Men in Blue needed him the most and he took India to a total above the 150 mark.

Gambhir hit three fifties in the 2007 tournament and finished as the second-highest run-getter after Matthew Hayden. The left-hander was one of the main reasons behind India winning the finals against Pakistan in the 2007 T20 World cup.

Suresh Raina:

Suresh Raina was one of the key middle-order batsmen especially in T20 World cups over the years and he was the first Indian to hit a T20 international century and he had a fantastic tournament in 2010. He scored a magnificent 101 against South Africa in West Indies.

Raina finished with 219 runs in the tournament batting at number three. The left-hander had an average of 43.80 and a strike rate of 156 in the tournament. He hit a half-century alongside his century and his tally of 219 runs is the fourth most runs for India in a single edition of the T20 World cup.

KL Rahul:

KL Rahul may not have had the best of tournaments in the 2021 T20 World cup but still managed to hit 194 runs in the five games he played. He was dismissed early in the games against New Zealand and Pakistan and it was decisive in his country not making the semi-finals.

However, he made up for it with three consecutive fifties in the next three games. He also hit an 18 ball half-century which is the second-fastest half-century in the T20 World cup for the nation. Rahul had a lot of elegance in his stroke-making in the tournament.
