Rizwan overtakes Kohli's record in T20I cricket

Rizwan's determination and grit remain unparalleled, which enabled him to surpass Virat Kohli's T20I record of scoring the most runs after 48 innings

Mohammad Rizwan has proven his worth in the T20 format over and over again; from becoming the highest run-scorer in a calendar year to remaining a reliable pair of hands behind the wickets.

Rizwan's determination and grit remain unparalleled, which enabled him to surpass Virat Kohli's T20I record of scoring most runs after 48 innings.

The Pakistan wicketkeeper became only the second batsman to score the most runs after 48 innings. Rizwan's 71-run knock helped him cross the 1,852-run mark which was previously set by the former Indian captain.

Here is the overview of the top-three run-scorers after 48 international T20 innings:

Babar Azam — 1,916 runs
Mohammad Rizwan — 1,855 runs
Virat Kohli —1,852 runs

Mohammad Rizwan's efforts paid massive dividends as Pakistan registered a 5-wicket victory against the arch-rivals to keep up their morale heading in to the crucial stage of the Asia Cup 2022 tournament.
