By Renin Wilben Albert Modified 19 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Virat Kohli has a terrific T20I record against Australia. Pic: Getty Images Senior Team India batter Virat Kohli returned to form in brilliant fashion during the Asia Cup 2022 in the UAE. Having skipped the white-ball tours of West Indies and Zimbabwe following a horror series in England, he returned in a refreshed avatar. Even as the Men in Blue failed to make the final, Kohli’s performance was one of the team’s biggest positives. The former India captain finished the T20 tournament as the second-leading run-getter. He smashed 276 runs in five matches at a stupendous average of 92 and an excellent strike rate of 147.59. During the event, he also broke his century drought, registering his first three-figure score in over 1000 days. Buoyed by his showing in the Asia Cup, Kohli will be keen to continue his good form in the home series against Australia as well. The Men in Blue will face the Aussies in three T20Is from September 20 to 25. The 33-year-old has produced amazing numbers against Australia in the 20-over format. In this feature, we look at six records held by Kohli in the India-Australia T20Is.

No other batter has scored 500 runs in T20I matches between the Men in Blue and the Aussies. Australian captain Aaron Finch is a distant second on the list with 440 runs from 15 matches at an average of 29.33 and a strike rate of 136.22.

#2 Highest score by an Indian batter

Kohli also holds the record for the highest score by an Indian batter against Australia in T20Is. No Team India batter has scored a century against the Aussies in T20Is. Kohli’s unbeaten 90 off 55 balls in Adelaide in January 2016 is the best. The knock came in the first T20I of the three-match series. Australia won the toss and invited India to bat first. However, the decision did not prove beneficial as Kohli dominated proceedings. The right-handed batter smashed nine fours and two sixes as India posted 188 for three. Australia were held to 151 in response as Jasprit Bumrah claimed three for 23. Two Australians have scored T20I hundreds against the Men in Blue - Shane Watson (124* off 71 in Sydney, 2016) and Glenn Maxwell (113* off 55 in Bengaluru, 2019).

#3 Highest average by an Indian batter
