Virat Kohli, the batting maestro of India, has finally touched down in the USA to reunite with the Indian squad ahead of the June 2 start of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He arrived, but it’s unclear if he’ll play in the exhibition match against Bangladesh on June 1.
India needs Kohli to get back to his best if they want to win the T20 World Cup. He is a vital player for the squad, and his hitting ability is greatly appreciated. He’s also about to reach a significant milestone in his cricket career.
After playing in five T20 World Cups as an Indian representative, Virat Kohli is poised to participate in his sixth T20 World Cup. In 25 T20 World Cup appearances (innings), the 35-year-old has scored 1,141 runs, making him the tournament’s all-time top scorer.
While it is true that Kohli has almost reached every possible individual statistic and award in the world of international cricket, the one trophy still missing from his collection is the elusive ICC T20 World Cup.
Virat Kohli is on the verge of a major milestone ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024:
In all international cricket formats, Virat Kohli, the batting maestro of India, needs just 267 more runs to become the fourth batsman in history to reach the incredible milestone of 27,000 runs. With 8848 runs in Tests, 13848 in ODIs, and 4037 in T20Is since his 2008 debut, he has already accomplished an incredible feat.
Kohli has a very genuine chance of hitting 27,000 runs in the T20 World Cup because India is guaranteed to play at least four matches and possibly more if they advance.
In the highly competitive competition to score the most runs in international cricket, Sachin Tendulkar continues to be the unchallenged king of the mountain. Being the first batter to ever score more than 30,000 runs, he finished with an incredible 34,357 runs in 664 games. After Sachin comes the great batsman Kumar Sangakkara of Sri Lanka, who scored an incredible 28,016 runs in 594 matches.
Third place goes to the legendary Australian Ricky Ponting, who scored 27,483 runs in 560 games. Virat Kohli is right behind him at number four. Virat, who is renowned for his amazing consistency, has the highest average (54.11) of these top five batsmen right now.
