Star batter Virat Kohli will be in action for India against Bangladesh on Saturday (June 22). During the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 match, which is scheduled to take place at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, the right-handed batter will have a chance to create history and become the leading run scorer in T20Is. The former Indian captain, who has 4066 runs to his name in 121 T20Is played so far, needs 80 more runs to break Babar Azam’s world record of 4145 runs and take No. 1 position in the elite list.
Virat was the leading run scorer in T20Is before the start of the T20 World Cup 2024, but due to his poor form in the first four matches, he lost the No. 1 position to Babar. Apart from Kohli, Indian captain Rohit Sharma will also have a chance to break Babar’s record. Rohit has 4050 runs to his name in 155 T20Is for India, and he needs 96 runs to overtake Babar in the elite list.
