T20 World Cup 2024: Rohit Sharma will break this record of Chris Gayle
T20 World Cup 2024: The T20 World Cup is about to begin. The Indian team will begin its journey by playing its first match against Ireland on June 5. However, it will start on June 2. Meanwhile, new records will be made and set again. Rohit Sharma will be seen leading the Indian team again. He was also in the 2007 World Cup team, when India managed to win it. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma can make a new record in the very first match of this year’s World Cup.
Virat Kohli has scored the most runs in T20 World Cup
If we talk about the history of T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli has scored the most runs in this tournament. Kohli has scored 1141 runs in 27 matches so far. Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene is at number two. He has scored 1016 runs in 31 matches. Apart from these two, no batsman in the world has been able to score more than a thousand runs in this tournament. But now Rohit Sharma can do this, but for this he will first have to surpass Chris Gayle, one of the fiercest batsmen of West Indies.
Chris Gayle is at number three
Chris Gayle has scored 965 runs in 33 matches in the T20 World Cup. After this, Rohit Sharma comes at number four. He has scored 963 runs in 39 matches in the T20 World Cup so far. That means he needs only three more runs to surpass Chris Gayle. But if he wants to complete his thousand runs, he will need 63 runs. Since the Indian team’s first match is against Ireland, which is considered a weak team, it is possible that Rohit makes this record in this match itself.
New batsmen may enter the top 5
If we talk about the top 5 batsmen who scored the most runs in the T20 World Cup, there are only two batsmen who are still playing, the rest have retired. Virat Kohli is at number one, who is still playing. Mahela Jayawardene and Chris Gayle are also retired. At number three in this list comes the name of Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan, who is the player who scored 897 runs in this tournament. However, this time there can definitely be some batsmen who can score runs and enter the top 5.
