Virat Kohli's Three Highest Scores in T20I Cricket

Virat Kohli retired from T20I cricket after India's 2024 T20 World Cup triumph, leaving behind a record that few batters in the format's history can match. Across 125 T20Is, he accumulated 4,188 runs at an average of 48.70 and a strike rate of 137.05, with 38 fifties and 1 century to his name.

Those numbers place Kohli among the all-time greats of the shortest format. He averages above 45 across Tests, ODIs and T20Is, showing his ability to excel across formats. Here is a look at the three highest scores he produced in the format.

3. Kohli's 90* vs Australia, Adelaide, 2016

At the iconic Adelaide Oval in 2016, Kohli walked out and constructed one of his most controlled T20I innings against Australia. He remained unbeaten on 90 off 55 balls, striking 9 fours and 2 sixes through a range of classic cricketing shots, and guided India to 188/3 in their 20 overs. Australia, in reply, were dismissed for 151, handing India a 37-run victory in that first T20I of the series. This helped the Men in Blue start the series on a high.
