Virat Kohli’s highest score in T20 is a 50-ball 113 for Team Bangalore against Punjab in 2016.
The Delhi-born cricketer, one of the greatest players in the shortest format of the sport, is the first Indian cricketer to amass 10,000 runs in T20 cricket.
Virat scored a 26-ball 35 on his T20 debut against Himachal Pradesh in 2007, but had to wait until 2010 to make his T20I bow for the Indian cricket team.
Now, with 97 matches under his belt, Virat Kohli is India’s second-highest T20I run-getter at the moment with 3,296 runs at a strike rate of 137.67.
As far as T20 records are concerned, the 33-year-old is the leading run-getter in the Indian T20 League with 6,283 runs in 199 innings, at a strike rate of 129.94.

In all, Kohli has the joint-most 50-plus scores in T20 Internationals (30) and is yet to score a century in T20Is.
