As the T20 World Cup 2024 has begun with a bang, featuring an exciting opening clash between the USA and Canada where sixes and fours were flying, the tournament showcases explosive batters who specialize in hitting boundaries. Virat Kohli is a legend in the T20 World Cup, holding several major records in the tournament. He is also set to overtake Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene on the list of most fours in T20 World Cup history.
The former Sri Lankan opener amassed 111 fours over his 31-inning T20 World Cup career. However, his reign at the top is under threat, as the legendary Virat Kohli is poised to overtake him. Kohli, who will compete in the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the United States, has already hit 103 fours in just 25 innings across the past five editions.
