Virat Kohli, the great batter for India, displayed his exemplary play in the recently finished 2022 T20 World Cup. With a total of 296 runs scored in six matches, the right-handed batter led the prestigious ICC competition in run scoring. While Kohli was going through a rough time, the Asia Cup 2022 match against Afghanistan saw him score his long-awaited 71st century, which turned the tide in his favor.

The 34-year-old batter has established himself as a key member of the Indian team over the years and has turned into one of the game’s most lethal hitters. Steve Smith, an Australian batsman, recently praised Kohli and referred to him as a “phenomenal player.” “He (Virat Kohli) is a world class player in all three formats of the game. He has struck a lot of runs and he is a phenomenal player,” said Steve Smith. With a crucial 82 not out against Pakistan, Kohli began his T20 World Cup 2022 campaign and led his team to a heart-pounding four-wicket victory on the final ball.

Additionally, innings of 64 against Bangladesh, 62 against the Netherlands, and 50 against England in the semifinals helped one of the greatest white-ball batters of the modern era cap off an individual competition to remember. The International Cricket Council’s (ICC) most valuable team for the 2022 World Cup includes both Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli. Apart from Kohli, Suryakumar also gave a blistering performance in the tournament and ended as the third-most prolific batter with 239 runs overall.
