The star Indian batter achieved the feat during India's Super 8 match against Bangladesh with a knock of 28-ball 37. Virat Kohli, however, couldn't convert the good start into a big knock while Rohit Sharma, who is second on the all-time list, got out after scoring 23.

Virat Kohli, who came into the T20 World Cup 2024 following a strong IPL with the bat, has struggled to produce runs on the slow surfaces of the USA and Caribbean. He continues to face ire of the fans for not playing big knocks.
