How can there be an Indian batting record without Virat Kohli’s name in it? The Indian run-machine tops the tally of most runs in India-Australia T20Is by a margin of 91 runs.

Virat has accumulated 488 runs in 13 innings with an average of 61 while scoring at a strike rate of 143. This is also the most by any batsman in T20Is against Australia.

With five half-centuries Virat leads the fifties count as well. All of his 50-plus scores have resulted in Indian victories. Four of them were scored in succession.

His first big score was 90 not out on his favorite ground, Adelaide Oval in January 2016. India piled up 188/3 in 20 overs, enough to secure the win. Kohli’s subsequent scores of 59 not out and 50 helped India claim the away series 3-0.

In the 2016 World T20, Virat arguably played his best-ever T20I innings. Virat with his 82 not out in the chase of 161 knocked the Australians out of the World Cup.
