Former captain of the Indian cricket team and experienced batsman Virat Kohli is one of the best players not only in India but in the world. King Kohli will now be seen playing only ODI cricket for Team India, as he has retired from Test cricket after T20 International.
So, during his T20 cricket career, Kohli made and broke many T20 records. After winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Kohli said goodbye to T20 cricket. But now he will not be able to make some T20 records in his name.

So, today in this news we are going to tell you about three such T20 records, which Kohli could not break. So let us know about those records:
1. Most sixes
Let us tell you that now that Virat Kohli has retired from T20 International cricket, he will not be able to break the record of hitting the most sixes in the format. Kohli hit a total of 124 sixes in 117 innings played in his T20 career for India. At the same time, Rohit Sharma is at the top in terms of hitting the most sixes in T20 cricket for India, who has hit a total of 205 sixes.
2. Most centuries
Kohli has scored only one century in his T20 career, which he scored against Afghanistan in Dubai during the Asia Cup 2022. In the match, Kohli played a match-winning innings of 122* runs. However, Kohli, who has scored more than 5 centuries in the IPL, could not do so in T20I. He has been able to score only one century in T20 cricket for India, while Rohit Sharma has scored 5 centuries. This is a record that Kohli will not be able to break now.
3. Not a single title as captain
Kohli took over as India’s Test captain in 2014 and gradually evolved as a leader. Under Kohli’s captaincy, India has scaled new heights in Test cricket, including historic overseas wins.
But he has not been able to achieve the same success in T20 cricket as captain in Test cricket. Kohli has won a total of four ICC trophies as a player, but he has not been able to win a single trophy in T20 International cricket as a captain.
