Notably, Kohli also surpassed Tendulkar’s record for the most runs in a single edition of the ODI World Cup, accumulating 765 runs in the 2023 World Cup. While both cricket legends secured the Player of the Tournament award in their respective editions, Kohli’s exceptional performance has established a new benchmark.
However, uncertainties surround Kohli’s participation in white-ball cricket for the 2024 T20 World Cup, as he has expressed a desire for a break from this format. Despite his involvement in the upcoming Test series against South Africa, Kohli’s decision raises strategic questions about India’s approach to the T20 World Cup.
