Scoring runs in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is not easy for any batsman. The best bowlers in the world, the pressure of the big stage and the game of less overs, amidst all this, scoring runs continuously is what makes a player great. If we look at the history of the T20 World Cup, there are some names who have made a distinct identity with their bat in this tournament. Indian star Virat Kohli’s name is at the top in the list of these players.
Virat Kohli – India
Virat Kohli is the highest run scorer in the T20 World Cup. He has scored 1292 runs in 35 matches between 2012 and 2024. During this period his average was 58.72, which is considered extraordinary in this format. Kohli may not have scored a century yet, but he has 15 half-centuries to his name.

Former Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene impressed everyone with his classic batting in the T20 World Cup. He scored 1016 runs in 31 matches, which also included a brilliant century. Despite limited opportunities, Jayawardene’s strike rate and consistency were praiseworthy.
