Ind vs NZ: Guptill surpasses Kohli to become leading run-scorer in T20Is
19-November-2021
New Zealand opener Martin Guptill on Friday leapfrogged Virat Kohli to
become the highest run-scorer in the T20 Internationals during the
second match of the three-match series against India at JSCA
International Stadium, here.
The attacking batsman needed 11 runs
to get to the landmark before the start of the match and he achieved it
with a boundary off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the first over, after Rohit
Sharma won the toss and opted to field.
Guptill has surpassed
Kohli's tally of 3227 to become the leading run-scorer in T20Is. Rohit
Sharma, the newly-appointed T20I skipper, sits at the third spot with
3086 runs. Australia's white-ball skipper Aaron Finch (2608 runs) and
Ireland's Paul Stirling (2570 runs) are ranked 4th and 5th spots,
respectively.
The New Zealand opener, who got a reprieve on eight
when KL Rahul, running back from mid-off, dropped a tough chance, got
out in the 5th over bowled by Deepak Chahar after playing an attacking
knock of 31 off 15.
Earlier, he had scored an impressive 42-ball 70 in the series opener in Jaipur on Wednesday. - IANS
