Virat Kohli Becomes 2nd Highest Run-getter in T20Is

There is no end to the domination of Virat Kohli in world cricket. With each passing match, India captain breaks some record or the other. On Saturday, during the second T20I match against New Zealand, Kohli, during his innings of 65 runs, surpassed Tillakaratne Dilshan, to become the second highest run-getter in T20Is.

Sri Lanka's Dilshan had 1,889 runs from 80 matches, while Kohli overtook him in just 54 matches, to score 1,943 runs. Kohli is second behind New Zealand's Brendon McCullum, who has 2,140 runs in 71 matches. Not only that, Kohli reached 7,000 T20 runs overall, the first Indian, and 8th batsman in the world to do so. To go with that, Kohli boasts of the highest average (54.06) among all the players who have scored more than 1,000 runs in T20Is.
