A T20I career to boast of!
Not only has Kohli stamped his authority in the white flannels and the 50-over format, he continues to rewrite records in the shortest format of the game as well.
2016 was a phenomenal year for the maverick, as he became the first batsman to score in excess of 600 T20I runs in a calendar year. His 641 runs in just 13 innings comprised 7 half-centuries, at an average of 106.83 with a strike rate of 140.26!
In the process he also became the fastest to the 1000-run mark in T20I’s, achieving the record in just 27 innings, beating the feat of England’s Kevin Pietersen who had taken 32 knocks to accomplish the same. He also has the most number of half-centuries in this format, a total of 16 fifties, beating the earlier record of 15 that was held by Chris Gayle.
