3 Records Virat Kohli couldn't break in his T20I career

Virat Kohli stands tall as one of the greatest cricketers across all formats. In Tests, he led India to remarkable heights with his aggressive captaincy and consistent run-scoring. His contributions in the longest format were monumental, both as a leader and a batter.

In T20Is, Kohli left a mark with his exceptional performances and consistency. His experience and calm under pressure were instrumental in India’s triumph in the 2024 T20 World Cup, completing his ICC trophy cabinet with wins in the 2011 ODI World Cup, 2013 Champions Trophy, and the 2025 edition. Despite his stellar T20I career, there were a few milestones that remained just out of reach.

Here are three records that Kohli could not break during his career in T20 Internationals:

1. Most Sixes

Virat Kohli was renowned for his exceptional timing, often better than most other batters in this regard. He would not rely on brute force, but used precision to find the gaps.

In T20 Internationals, he struck 124 sixes in 117 innings, which is an impressive tally but far behind Rohit Sharma, who tops the chart with 205 sixes. Kohli’s approach often favoured well-placed boundaries over big sixes, which shows his technique to build an innings without relying heavily on muscle.
