Virat Kohli, one of the best batters globally, is about to make history by becoming the first Indian cricketer to reach 12,000 runs in T20 cricket. After returning to T20 International matches 14 months ago, Kohli is just 6 runs away from achieving this milestone. In the last game, where fans hoped he would cross the 12,000-run mark, he got out after scoring 29 runs in an aggressive play.
Even though his quick performance excited fans, they couldn’t witness him reach the 12,000-run milestone. Now, as the Indian team faces Afghanistan in the last match of the three-game T20 series in Bangalore, Virat has another chance to make history. Bangalore’s Chinnaswamy Stadium, Virat’s favorite venue, is the perfect place for him to achieve this remarkable feat.
Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) since the first IPL season, Virat is adored by Bangalore fans. Watching him become the first Indian cricketer to score 12,000 runs in T20 cricket would be a special moment for them. Given Kohli’s strong start in the last game, fans might see him hit a six to reach this record. Kohli is not only the highest scorer in T20 International cricket but also the only batter with over 4,000 T20I runs.
