The T20 World Cup started in 2007 and became very popular in cricket around the world. 
Kohli is leading the list with 1,141 runs from 27 games, averaging a remarkable 81.5 runs per game. His strike rate of 131 is likely to get even better because of his excellent performance since the IPL 2024. So far, Kohli hasn’t scored a century in the tournament, but he has hit 14 half-centuries, more than any other batter.
ALSO READ: Next on the list is Mahela Jayawardena from Sri Lanka. He was a skilled right-handed batter, especially in shorter cricket matches. He scored 1,016 runs in 31 games, averaging 39 runs per game and hitting at a rapid pace with a strike rate of 134.74. Jayawardena stands out because, like Chris Gayle, he is one of the top five highest scorers in this format and has scored a century. Additionally, he achieved six half-centuries during his career. Chris Gayle, known as the Universe Boss, batted at number three in the matches he played. He scored a total of 965 runs, averaging 34.46 per innings, with a strike rate of 142.75. He hit two centuries and seven half-centuries, showing that when he performed well, he scored a lot of runs. However, he often got out early in many of the 33 matches he played. Gayle has hit the most sixes, 63 in total, among the top five highest scorers in cricket. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian team, has played the most matches, 39 in total. He is also second in the list of players hitting sixes, with 35 to his credit. Currently, Rohit has scored 963 runs and is expected to surpass 1,000 runs soon.
