    Record Alert! Virat Kohli becomes first batter to score 4000 runs in T20Is
    Earlier, Kohli broke Mahela Jayawardene's 2014 record of 1016 runs to become the all-time greatest run-scorer in men's T20 World Cup matches against Bangladesh in Adelaide. 

    Digital Desk: India's star batsman Virat Kohli made history by becoming the first player to score 4,000 runs in T20 Internationals on Thursday. In the second T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final match against England in Adelaide on Thursday, Kohli reached the milestone.

    Earlier, Kohli broke Mahela Jayawardene's 2014 record of 1016 runs to become the all-time greatest run-scorer in men's T20 World Cup matches against Bangladesh in Adelaide. In the 15th over of India's play, Kohli required 42 runs to attain the milestone of 4000 T20I runs and did so with a boundary off Adil Rashid.



    The only male cricketer to receive Player of the Tournament honours in both the 2014 and 2016 T20 World Cups was Kohli. Additionally, Kohli has scored the most runs in T20I cricket history. He is listed before Paul Stirling, Martin Guptill, Babar Azam, and skipper Rohit Sharma. At the moment, Kohli has a strike rate of about 140 and an average of over 50.

    With almost 270 runs in 6 matches of the T20 World Cup 2022, Kohli is also the leading scorer. Even though Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, India's openers, have frequently failed to get going, the ace batter has served as the lineup's anchor.
