Virat scored many runs and set a series of records, joining Sangakkara’s club.

New Delhi. When Virat Kohli was playing in the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against South Africa, many questions were being raised about his form. It was natural for this to happen as he scored only 75 runs with the bat in the first 7 matches. Today, King Kohli led the team in the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa with a 76 on a tough pitch. With this, Team India has made the biggest score in the history of the T20 World Cup Final so far.

Today against South Africa, Team India batted in the allotted 20 overs and scored 176 runs for the loss of seven wickets. Earlier during the T20 World Cup 2021, the Australian team made the highest score in the final match. Then this team played an innings of 173 runs against New Zealand. In the same match, New Zealand batted first and scored 172/4, which was chased down by the Kangaroos. The West Indies team is at the third position in this list. During the World Cup 2016, the team scored 161 runs for the loss of six wickets at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
