Virat Kohli quickest to reach 11,000 intl runs as captain
Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah were among the records as India beat Sri Lanka by 78 runs. Bumrah is highest T20I wicket taker for India
Pune: India's Virat Kohli on Friday achieved another rare milestone when he became the quickest to reach 11,000 international runs as a captain during the third and final T20 International against Sri Lanka here.
Needing just one run to reach the milestone, the right-hander took a single off Lakshan Sandakan to get to the feat.
Kohli, thus, became the sixth international captain to reach the feat and the second Indian after talismanic Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Kohli is followed by Ricky Ponting, Graeme Smith, Dhoni, Allan Border and Stephen Fleming.
On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah became India’s highest wicket-taker in T20Is. He took one wicket and bowled a two-over spell of 1/5 in the 3rd T20I, signaling his return from the injury layoff.
India lead the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka 1-0 after registering a comprehensive seven-wicket win in Indore on Tuesday.
The first T20I in Guwahati was washed out without a ball being bowled.
