In August 2020, when ICC announced that the T20 World Cup would be in Australia in 2022, one man was most happy. “As soon as I knew the T20 world cup was going to be in Australia, I was grinning from ear to ear,” Virat Kohli would say at the end of India’s thriller against Bangladesh.
Kohli reached another batting milestone as he became the leading run getter in the Men’s T20 World Cup history when he reached a personal score of 16 in the match. Kohli scored 64* off 44 balls which elped him surpass former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene’s record of most runs. Mahela had scored 1016 runs in 31 innings while Kolhi crossed 1017-run mark in his 23rd innings.
