Virat Kohli Breaks Rohit Sharma’s World Records In Just One Innings

Team India captain and skipper Virat Kohli has another feather to his cap after leaving behind Rohit Sharma to become the all-time leading run-scorer in Twenty20 internationals.

Fans are not just overjoyed but over the moon with his record! Kohli, who led team India to a 7-wicket victory against South Africa in the second T20I in Mohali, broke two world records.

The surprisingly thing about this record is that incidentally both of them belonged to his teammate Rohit Sharma.

Before claiming his record, Kohli began the match on 2,369 runs in 65 innings. He also remained unbeaten by getting a 7 runs lead of Rohit in the highest run scorer’s list. 

If you go to see, Kohli now has 2,441 runs from 66 innings to Rohit’s 2,434 from 89 innings. While the second record counts after creating his 22nd half century in T20 internationals and crossed Rohit’s tally of 21 fifties. 

Kohli's breathtaking performance made him the only cricketer to average more than 50 in all the three formats of the game. 

Another record broken!
