Virat Kohli on the verge of a major milestone; all set to join Gayle and Warner in the elite T20 List

Virat Kohli is among the best all-format batters of all time. He scores runs almost every time he plays. No wonder he is called a ‘run-machine’ of the modern generation.

While his Test and ODI cricket garners a lot of attention, his T20 game is often underappreciated despite him being as consistent in this format. Kohli has won so many games for his team with his unique method of T20 batting. While he may not look as expansive, Kohli has always scored runs in T20s at a reasonable pace.
