4 times a batsman scored at least as many runs as the opposition in a T20I

#4 KL Rahul vs Ireland, 2018

KL Rahul showed why he should be in the top XI of the Indian side across all formats

India 213/4 (Rahul 70, Raina 69) beat Ireland 70 (Kuldeep 3/16, Chahal 3/21) by 143 runs

Having sat out the first game of the two-match series, KL Rahul showed exactly why he should be playing for India in all formats of the game. Continuing from where he had left in the 11th season of the IPL, KL Rahul took the attack to the Irishmen from the first over itself, lacing 3 fours and 6 sixes, before falling in the 13th over. By then, he had 70 to his name and India had 128. The runs had come at a strike-rate of almost 200 as KL made the most of his good form and toyed with the Irish bowling.

A solid knock from Raina, a blitzkrieg from Hardik Pandya, and the usual dose of magic from the wrist spinners followed as Ireland just about managed to equal KL Rahul's individual score, and in the process, fell to the largest T20I defeat (by runs) for a full member.
