Virat Kohli has become the all-time leading run-scorer in men’s T20 World Cups, surpassing Sri Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene’s record of 1016 runs, which was set in 2014. Kohli broke the record during India’s fourth Group 2 encounter against Bangladesh in Adelaide, and he passed the landmark with an average of more than 80 and a strike rate north of 130 in T20 World Cups. The run that saw Virat overtake Jayawardene came off the 13th ball he faced, in the seventh over of India’s innings, when he tucked Taskin Ahmed to midwicket for a single.
