Virat Kohli has registered another world record in T20Is. He scored an unbeaten 122 off 61 balls with the help of 12 fours and 6 sixes against Afghanistan in the last Super 4 stage game of the Asia Cup 2022.
He amassed the highest men’s T20I score after a duck in previous innings. The former India captain was dismissed for a four-ball duck in the previous game with Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Stadium.
Kohli broke Alex Hales’ record of 116 runs, which had set against Australia in 2014.
