T20 Worldcup: This Virat record will be in Kohli’s name by scoring just 16 runs
Former Team India captain and Indian batsman Virat Kohli will go to the Adelaide ground to create a new history in the T20 format today. Virat Kohli has rocked his bat in the ongoing World Cup in Australia. Continuing this feat, Virat Kohli can do a new feat in the match being held on November 2.
Virat had scored half-centuries in the first two World Cup matches. It is expected that he will play a big innings in the important match against Bangladesh. In this match, Virat needs just 16 runs to become the highest run-scorer in T20 World Cup history. Virat Kohli will become the highest run-scorer in the T20 World Cup as soon as he scores 16 runs. He will overtake former Sri Lankan batsman Mahela Jayawardene. It is expected that Virat Kohli himself would also like to make his name for the most runs in the T20 World Cup.
Important match against Bangladesh
It is worth noting that the Indian team is currently standing at a very crucial juncture to remain in the semi-final race. Scoring runs from Virat’s bat has become very important to stay in the semi-final race. If Virat scored only 16 runs in Adelaide, then he would be the highest run-scorer in the T20 World Cup. Earlier, Virat Kohli had scored just 12 runs in the match against South Africa, after which he became the second batsman in the world to score 1000 runs.
Team has to be alert
Significantly, the Indian team needs to be extra careful in the match against Bangladesh on November 2. The head coach of the team, Rahul Dravid has also accepted this. He had said that taking Bangladesh team lightly can prove to be a mistake.
Such is the performance of Virat
Virat Kohli’s bat is going strong in this World Cup. He has returned to his form. He could not do well against South Africa itself, but before that in the matches against Pakistan and the Netherlands, Virat had played a half-century innings by showing the power of the bat. In the 3 matches he has played so far, he has scored 156 runs at an average of 156 and a strike rate of 144.44.
In the match against Pakistan on 23 October, Virat played an innings of 82 runs in 53 balls. In the match against Netherlands too, he scored an unbeaten 62 off 44 balls.
