Virat Kohli’s importance for India in T20 World Cup 2022

Meanwhile, Kohli is one of the top players from India to look forward to in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. India exited the last edition of T20 World Cup without qualifying for the knockouts, as it also marked Kohli’s final appearance as the T20I skipper of India. A year later, Kohli heads into the tournament after shutting down all his critics.

Kohli faced heavy criticism throughout the season for his poor run of form with the bat, until Asia Cup 2022. Making a sensational comeback after not playing the sport for a month, Kohli finished as the second-highest run-scorer in Asia Cup behind Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan. The 34-year-old also hit his much-awaited 71st international century in the Super 8 match against Afghanistan. 

Virat Kohli is the third-highest run scorer for India in 2022

He continued to show his class by hitting a 63-run against Australia in the third T20I, before scoring 49 runs against Sri Lanka. India will face New Zealand in another warm-up clash on October 19, before beginning their campaign on October 23. Interestingly, Kohli has scored 485 runs in 14 T20I games in 2022, which makes him the third-highest run scorer of the year behind Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma.

While Yadav leads India’s scoring charts with 801 runs in 23 T20I games so far in 2022, Rohit has scored 540 runs in 23 games. Out of the three, Kohli has the second-best strike rate at 139.36. Suryakumar has hit runs at a strike rate of 184.56, while Rohit has struck at 142.48.
