Virat Kohli’s Top 5 Knocks in T20 Internationals
It is safe to say that Virat Kohli will go down as one of the greatest batters to have ever played the game of cricket. Hailed as India’s run machine, Kohli has helped India win a number of matches, singlehandedly, and holds a plethora of records to his name.
At the time of writing, Virat Kohli is only behind Sachin Tendulkar in the list of most centuries in international cricket. India’s former skipper has 71 centuries to his name and has more than 24,000 international runs. Kohli is currently playing for India in the ongoing 20-20 World Cup 2022.
In this article, let’s take a look at the five best T20I innings of his career:
5. 55 off 37 against Pakistan in 2016
In the group stage encounter against Pakistan at the 20-20 World Cup 2016, Pakistan were restricted to 118 in the first innings. The surface was assisting the bowlers and India had lost the first three wickets for just 23 runs on the board.
Virat Kohli, however, held firm at the one end and stabilized the innings with Yuvraj Singh. The duo added 61 runs for the fifth wicket before Singh got out in the 12th over for a 23-ball 24. Kohli, however, went on to score a crucial half-century.
His unbeaten 55 off 37 balls helped the team chase down the score in 18 overs in the end.
