The Indian team will play its first Super 8 match of T20 World Cup 2024 on 20 June. In this match, Team India will face Afghanistan, but this match will also be special because Pakistan team captain Babar Azam will be the target of Indian team openers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. If not in this match, then in the next two matches, Virat and Rohit can break Babar Azam's record, because the Pakistan team is out of the tournament. In such a situation, Babar Azam will not be able to score many runs.
Will Virat-Rohit break this record?
This world record is for scoring the most runs in men's T20 international cricket. Babar Azam is the only batsman to score more than 4100 runs in T20 international cricket. But Virat and Rohit are also not far behind. Babar Azam has scored 4145 runs in T20 international cricket, while Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have scored 4042 runs so far. In this way, both these batsmen are 103-103 runs behind Babar Azam. The batsman who scores 104 runs in the next match will create a world record for scoring the most runs in T20 internationals.
This record in ODI and Test cricket is in the name of Sachin Tendulkar
Babar Azam will also surpass these batsmen after making a comeback, but at the moment there is no T20 series for Pakistan. In such a situation, this world record may remain in the name of Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli for some time. This is believed to be the last T20 World Cup for Virat and Rohit. If he does not play in T20 international cricket after this, then Babar Azam will soon have a chance to overtake them and create a new record of Sachin Tendulkar in ODI and Test cricket.
