Pakistan vs New Zealand T20 Series: While selected players from all over the world are playing the Indian Premier League in India, the Pakistani team is preparing to play the T20 series. The New Zealand team is currently on a tour of Pakistan and a series of 5 T20 matches will be played there. The first match of the series is to be held on April 18 at Rao Lapindi. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan has come very close to breaking the World Cup record of former Indian team captain Virat Kohli. That means Kohli’s reign has been challenged. However, whether the record will be broken or not will be known later.
Virat Kohli’s more than 4000 runs in T20 International
Actually, Virat Kohli has scored more than four thousand runs in his T20 International career so far. He is the only batsman in the world who has been able to cross this figure. Earlier, when he had completed his three thousand runs in T20 International, he was the fastest batsman to reach this milestone. That means he had scored 3000 runs in the least number of innings. But now Mohammad Rizwan of Pakistan has come close to this record.
Mohammad Rizwan just 19 runs behind three thousand runs
Mohammad Rizwan has so far scored 2981 runs in 78 innings of 90 matches in T20 International. That means he needs only 19 runs to complete his three thousand runs. By the time Virat Kohli completed 3000 runs in this format, he had played 81 innings. Something similar happened with Babar Azam also. He also scored three thousand runs in T20 International by playing 81 innings. Now, if Mohammad Rizwan scores three thousand runs between one and two innings, then he will become the first batsman to reach this milestone by surpassing Babar Azam and Virat Kohli.
