Record Machine: Virat Kohli First Player to reach 4000 runs in T20 Internationals

Virat Kohli’s Record

England thumps past India by 10 wickets to win the match and reach the final of the T20 World Cup

Virat Kohli‘s Record: India’s King Kohli has smashed multiple records with his record-extending half-century against England in the T20 World Cup semi-finals on Thursday.

After England won the toss and asked India to bat at the Oval, Kohli played an important knock for the Men In Blue and assisted India in putting up a difficult total. In the history of the shortest format, Kohli, who recently turned 34, became the first player to finish 4,000 runs. The 34-year-old has made 115 appearances for Team India and has accomplished an incredible achievement.

Virat and Hardik’s Knock goes in Vain

Even after Virat’s incredible knock of 50 runs from 40 balls with one six and 4 fours with a strike rate of 125. Even Hardik’s knock of 63 from 33 balls with five sixes and 4 fours with a strike rate 190.91. England Batsman Alex Hales and Jos Buttler thump past Men In Blue.

Virat Breaks New World Records

The previous Indian captain became the T20 World Cup‘s all-time leading run-scorer. Mahela Jayawardene of Sri Lanka had been surpassed by Kohli to accomplish a unique accomplishment at the T20 World Cup. The T20 World Cup has seen almost 100 fours from Kohli. Being the third player to hit over 100 fours at the T20 World Cup puts the former Indian captain in exclusive company.

In the shortest format, the former captain of India has one century and 37 half-centuries. Rohit holds the record for most tonnes in T20Is with four centuries.

The right-handed batsman was 42 runs away from breaking the 4000-run barrier in T20 Internationals when he did it, becoming the first player to do so. Kohli has now 4008 runs under his belt which he accomplished it in the shortest format. Rohit Sharma, who has 3853 runs in the shortest format, is next after Kohli.

What Happened in ENG vs IND Match?

It was all about England! With their combination, Kohli and Pandya gave India some legitimacy, but Hales and Buttler’s response was just brilliant. The Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, had trouble with the bat earlier in the day, and the English openers’ fireworks in the second innings left him in the dark.

Throughout the run chase, which they completed in 16 overs, the England openers never once appeared to be in trouble. The England openers have done much better than Babar and Rizwan did yesterday, who put in a professional display. Therefore, the grand finale at the MCG will feature a fight of the openers.
