Virat has played 99 T20I matches for Team India, totaling 3,308 runs at an average of 50.12. He has 30 half-centuries in this format, and his best individual score for India in this format is 94.

This outstanding batter captained his squad in 50 games between 2017 and 2021. In these 50 games, he has won 30, lost 16, and tied four. Two games have finished in ties, while another two have ended in a draw. In this style, he had a commanding 64.58 win percentage while serving as captain.

All eyes will be on this star batter to get back into form with a game-winning shot and possibly hit his eagerly awaited 71st century in international play. He has gone more than a thousand days without recording an international century.
