The Indian team is currently on the tour of New Zealand and is all set to face the home team in the 1st T20Is at Auckland's Eden Gardens on 24 January. In this match, King Kohli has a golden opportunity to break the big record of Dhoni.
After winning the 'Man of the series' award in the recently concluded ODI series against Australia, Indian skipper Virat Kohli will be looking to maintain his form against New Zealand and take his team to victory.
Virat Kohli can create history in 1st T20:
In fact, Kohli is very close to breaking the record of Dhoni in terms of scoring the most runs in T20 Internationals as captain. Dhoni has scored 1112 runs in 61 innings at an average of 37.07. While Kohli has scored 1032 runs in 31 innings with an average of 46.91.
In such a situation, Kohli is just 81 runs away to leave Dhoni behind. As soon as Kohli scores 81 runs, he will become the leading run-scorer in T20 Internationals by an Indian captain.
Most runs in T20 Internationals by a captain:
However, the record of most runs scored in T20 Internationals as a captain is named after Faf du Plessis, who has scored 1273 runs in 40 matches at an average of 37.44, which also includes a century and 7 half-centuries. In this case, Kohli needs 242 runs to beat Faf du Plessis.
Virat Kohli's record against New Zealand:
Virat Kohli has played 5 T20 matches against New Zealand so far in which he has scored 197 runs at an amazing strike rate of 155.12. During this period, his best performance was 70 runs.
