England vs India 2018, 1st T20I: 5 Unnoticed things from the match

#5 Virat Kohli becomes first Indian to muster 2000 T20I runs

Arguably the world’s best batsman across formats currently, Virat Kohli has led by example when it comes to his skills with willow in his hand. The Indian skipper has been a revelation in Indian cricket merely with his ability to win matches for his side. A pure match-winner in all sorts, Kohli has been instrumental in breaking most of the records and is on his way to set new landmarks in international cricket.

It was just a matter of time when he was about to become the first Indian to muster 2000 T20I runs. He was just eight runs short before the game to achieve the feat to enter the illustrious club of players with more than 2000 runs in T20Is. He became only the fourth player after Shoaib Malik, Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill to enter the 2000 run club in T20Is.
