PERTH: Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan surpassed India’s Virat Kohli in another T20I record as he became the second-fastest batter to amass 2500 runs in the format.
Rizwan achieved the milestone amid his 49-run stand against the Netherlands today as he scored the 22nd run of his knock to achieve the milestone in 65 innings.
India’s Kohli conceded 68 innings to score as many T20I runs, while Pakistan captain Babar Azam is the fastest to score 2,500 runs in the shortest format.
Following this, Rizwan also became only the third Pakistan batter to score 2,500 runs. Former captain Mohammad Hafeez was the first to do so, followed by Babar.
It is pertinent to mention that Rizwan’s sensible 49-run knock powered Pakistan to chase down 92 runs in the 14th over as Pakistan sealed their maiden triumph in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.
