T20 World Cup 2024 IND vs BAN: Virat Kohli’s stats and records in T20Is against Bangladesh

In their second match in the Super 8 Group 1 stage of the T20 World Cup 2024, India will be playing against Bangladesh, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. Virat Kohli, who hasn’t been in the best of forms in the tournament, boasts a very good record against Bangladesh in the shortest format of the game, which could come quite handy when he takes them on in their upcoming clash.

Although Virat Kohli has played only five matches against Bangladesh in T20I cricket in the last decade, he managed to get on top of them more often than not. The right-handed batter has scored 193 runs at a great average of 96.50 against the near neighbours, while his strike-rate is reasonable since there have been a few more dot balls than normal coupled with just 17 fours and three maximums coming off his bat.

The top score for Virat Kohli against Bangladesh came in the T20 World Cup 2022, at the Adelaide Oval, notching up 64 unbeaten off 44 with eight fours and a maximum, and helping India post a very good score of 184/6 in their allotted overs. The Indian cricket team managed to defend the total successfully, winning the contest by five runs on the DLS method.

The only other fifty in Virat Kohli’s T20I career versus Bangladesh came in the T20 World Cup 2014, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. He scored 57 unbeaten off 50 with three fours and one maximum, to ensure India got over the finishing line with eight wickets in hand, chasing down 138-run total in the 19th over.

All in all, Virat Kohli, who has been one of the most impactful players for India in the T20I format in the last decade, will be needing to deliver a top-quality innings against Bangladesh in their upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, to ensure that they reach the semifinal stage.
