Virat Kohli made this record in his name, the only Indian to do so in T20 World Cup

India performed brilliantly in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 and defeated England by a considerable margin of 68 runs. With this, India has entered the final of the T20 World Cup after ten years. The last time that India played the final was in 2014, former captain Virat Kohli played an essential role in taking them there. But in this World Cup, Kohli's bat is entirely silent.

Kohli is wrestling in this T20 World Cup, with the run machine having scored, till now, only 75 runs in seven innings at an average of 10.71. With this, he added one more shameful record to his name. Kohli became the Indian player to score at the lowest average as an opener in any T20 World Cup. After at least five innings, he is the third player in the world to have this shameful record.

The first name that comes in this list is Soumya Sarkar from Bangladesh. Sarkar averaged 9.60 in the T20 World Cup 2016. The second name to feature on this list was Wesley Madhevere from Zimbabwe, with an average of 9.80 in the T20 World Cup 2022. Now Kohli's name has also been included in this list with an average of 10.71.

He was also dismissed against England after scoring nine runs in nine balls. This became the first instance that Virat Kohli could not cross the double-digit mark in the semis of the T20 World Cup. Earlier, Virat Kohli had scored 50 runs or above in the semis of 2014, 2016 and 2022.

These games include one semis played against England, in which he had played a total of 4 semis in the T20 WC. In these four Kohli has scored a total of 220 runs in these four innings. He played an unbeaten 72-run innings off 44 balls in the T20 WC 2014 semi-final match that Kohli played against South Africa. At the same time, in 2016, he played a blistering innings of 89 runs off 47 balls against the West Indies. In the semis played against England in 2022, Kohli played an innings of 50 runs from 40 balls.
