LUCKNOW, NOV 06,
Rohit Sharma on Tuesday surpassed captain Virat Kohli to become India’s highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals during the second game against the West Indies at the newly-built Ekana Stadium here.
Rohit needed just 11 runs to surpass Kohli’s record before the start of the match and the Mumbai batsman achieved the feat in style, clobbering a 149kph delivery off pacer Oshane Thomas over the mid-off boundary in the fifth over.
Before Tuesday, Kohli held the record, amassing 2101 runs from 62 T20 matches at an average of 48.88.
