Virat Kohli Becomes First To Score 1200 Runs In T20 World Cup
Virat Kohli has set a new milestone in T20 World Cup history by becoming the first batter to score over 1200 runs in the tournament. This achievement came during India's Super 8 match against Bangladesh, where Kohli scored 37 runs off 28 balls. Despite his efforts, Kohli couldn't convert his start into a significant score, and Rohit Sharma, who ranks second on the all-time list, was dismissed after scoring 23 runs.
Kohli entered the T20 World Cup 2024 following a strong performance in the IPL but has struggled to maintain his form on the slower pitches of the USA and Caribbean. This has led to criticism from fans for not delivering substantial innings.

| 1. Virat Kohli (IND) | 1207 | 89* | 30 | 14 | 0 | 105 | 32 |
