Virat Kohli has become the fastest player to 2000 T20I runs after achieving the feat in his 56th innings on Tuesday.

The Indian captain reached the landmark during his side’s resounding win over England, when Kuldeep Yadav’s five-for and KL Rahul’s century consigned England to an eight-wicket loss.

Kohli, who had missed two previous opportunities on this tour when he was out for 0 and 9 in two innings against Ireland, beat the mark previously held by former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum, who had taken 66 innings.

India’s star batsman, who was also the quickest to 1000 T20I runs, in 27 innings, is the fourth batsman to reach the 2000 mark, after McCullum, fellow New Zealander Martin Guptill, and veteran Pakistani Shoaib Malik.
