Star Indian batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma achieved two big milestones in T20 World Cups on Sunday, in the match against South Africa.

Kohli went on to reach the 1,000-run landmark at ICC T20 World Cup events, becoming only the second player to do so. Rohit, on the other hand, became the highest-capped player in the history of the tournament.

He was dismissed by pacer Lungi Ngidi. Now, in 24 matches across 22 innings, Virat has scored 1,001 runs at an average of 83.41.
