Reportedly virat kohli is continuing his record-breaking spree as the india captain has broken an indian record held by MS Dhoni. Meanwhile virat kohli went past ms dhoni on the list of captains with most runs in T20I cricket. dhoni held the indian record with 1112 runs from 72 matches at an average of 37.06. Furthermore kohli went past Dhoni's tally in the ongoing 3rd T20I of a 5-match series between india and new zealand at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
Apparently kohli needed 25 runs at the start of the match and the skipper got there after coming in to bat at No. 4 on Wednesday. Perhaps kohli has taken only 37 matches to go past Dhoni's tally as captain in T20I cricket. Moreover virat kohli finished Hamilton T20I with 1126 runs (as captain). The india captain was dismissed for 38 from 27 balls in the penultimate over of the indian innings as he perished while eyeing a late charge. Apparently south africa captain faf du plessis holds the record for most runs as captain in T20I cricket. He has 1273 runs in just 40 matches at an average of 37.44. new zealand captain Kane Williamson is second on the list with 1148 runs from 42 matches.
Perhaps virat kohli has the highest average (over 45) when considering top 10 players with most runs at T20I captain. india though lost a bit of momentum in the middle overs as new zealand got the wickets of rohit sharma and shivam dube, who walked in at No. 3 in quick succession.
