Rohit eyes Kohli’s spot
After taking a 1-0 lead in the series, India will take on South Africa in the 3rd T20I at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru today.
The battle of T20I dominance between India captain Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma will continue as the two Indian batting greats are in a neck-and-neck battle to be on top of the list of leading run-scorers’ in T20I cricket, with Kohli edging past Rohit to be on the top of the pile with his match winning 72 not out in the 2nd T20I against the Proteas earlier this week in Mohali.
However, Kohli’s reign could come to an abrupt end on Sunday if Sharma regains the top spot when he comes out to bat. The right-handed batsman is just eight runs away from Kohli’s feat, and could take the top spot. Kohli has 2,441 runs in T20I cricket, while Sharma has 2,434.
Since, Sharma will open the innings for India, he will come out to bat before Kohli, and hence, could easily surpass his skipper with a couple of boundaries.
