T20 World Cup: Virat Kohli is the ‘king’ of knockout, Rohit Sharma’s chair is in danger, Jos Buttler will create history.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Scoring runs in the knockout matches of T-20 World Cup is the biggest challenge for any batsman. Virat Kohli is at such a peak in this list that it does not seem possible for anyone to reach at the moment, but there is a close fight between Butler and Rohit for the second place. Most runs in T-20 World Cup knockout (Top 7 Batters) Rank Batsman (Country) Matcher Average Strike Rate 1 Virat Kohli (India) 637393.25145.132 Rohit Sharma (India) 822737.83139.263 Jos Buttler (England) 622656.50156.944 Marlon Samuels (West Indies) 521571.66120.785 Tillakaratne Dilshan (Sri Lanka) 719732.83115.206 Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka)717334.60115.337Kane Williamson (New Zealand)416842.00130.23Buttler vs Rohit: Why is this match special? Distance of only 2 runs: Jos Buttler (226 runs) needs only 2 runs in the next knockout match to overtake Rohit Sharma (227 runs). Since Rohit has retired from International T-20, Butler’s coming in second place is now considered almost certain. Virat’s ‘Invincible’ Record: Virat Kohli’s 373 runs and average of 93.25 is such a record that Butler will have to play many big innings to break. Kohli has scored 5 half-centuries in the knockout stage in his career. Other big records of World Cup 2026 (Current Tournament) Apart from the knockouts in this World Cup, many big records have also been broken in the overall tournament: Sahibzada Farhan (Pakistan): He has broken the 12-year-old record of Virat Kohli (319 runs, 2014) by scoring 383 runs in a single edition. Jos Buttler’s Jump: Buttler has now joined the club (after Kohli, Rohit and Jayawardene) of batsmen who have scored 1000+ runs in T20 World Cup history.
