Virat Kohli and Team India had a superlative 2019 and seemed to have carried that form into the new year 2020. While the first T20I between India and Sri Lanka in Guwahati was called off without a ball being bowled, the second T20I saw a familiar story unfold — India outclassing the opposition and captain Virat Kohli registering a world record.
In Indore, India thrashed the visiting Sri Lankans by seven wickets with Virat Kohli scoring a 17-ball 30 not out in the chase. The knock not only helped the Indian skipper take the outright lead in the top run-getters list in T20Is ahead of teammate Rohit Sharma, it also helped him become the fastest to reach 1,000 T20I runs as captain.
Virat Kohli now has 1,006 runs as captain in T20Is and overall, he tops the charts with 2,663 runs.
